The Inhibitory Effect of Rhododendron maximum L. (Ericaceae) Thickets on Mycorrhizal Colonization of Canopy Tree Seedlings
… Interactions between Rm thickets and ectomycorrhizal colonization were examined to explain seedling inhibition. Experimental blocks were established in and out of Rm thickets in a mature, mixed hardwood/conifer forest in Macon County, North Carolina. Planted seedlings of red oak (Quercus …

Effects of Seed Applied Fungicide on Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Colonization of South Dakota Cultivars of Oat, Soybean, and Corn
<p>Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are obligate symbionts that form a mutualistic relationship with approximately 80% of terrestrial plant species. These obligate symbionts have a generally beneficial effect on their host such as increased nutrient acquisition, better tolerance to biotic and …

The effects of stress on biomass, soluble sugar concentrations and VA mycorrhizal colonization in sugar maple seedlings (Acer saccharum Marsh.)
… Biomass, soluble root carbohydrates and mycorrhizal colonization progressively decreased with increasing ozone stress. Shading had a negative effect on vesicles and coils at certain sampling periods. While defoliation negatively affected biomass and mycorrhizal colonization at the …

Mycorrhizal Colonization of Native Salt Marsh Plants On Mississippi's Gulf Coast and the Effects of Commercial Mycorrhizal Inoculants On Nursery-Grown Plants
… many die due to transplant stress. Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) may be able to shorten the time the restoration plants need to stay in the nursery by increasing the plant's growth rate. AMF may also increase survival by decreasing transplant stress. To determine if S. altemifora and J. …

Plant Species and Soil Type Effects on Root Characteristics, Microbiota and Plant-soil Feedback Responses in Four Prairie Species
<p>Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) form a relationship with a multitude of host plants that is estimated to include 70-90% of terrestrial plant species over a wide range of environments. AMF and other microbiota, as well as abiotic factors are an important component of plant-soil feedback …

A Study of the Effect of Herbicides on Mycorrhizae Associated With Native Warm Season Grass
… caused a negative effect on plants and mycorrhizal colonization. Plant survival was directly correlated with the presence of mycorrhizae and lower rate of herbicides applied. Herbicide application appeared to have little effect on colonization and intensity rate of mycorrhizae. Imazapic, …

Influence of Soil Microorganisms on Plant Growth and Fitness
… drought tolerance. Association with Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) can enhance growth and protect plants from environmental stressors while they share products of photosynthesis with the resident fungi. Scores of studies indicate that mycorrhizal plants are more resistant to drought stress …

Factors affecting VA-mycorrhizal community structure in the Namib Dune Field: and the population biology of an ectomycorrhizal Basidiomycete: Suillus granulatus
… questions regarding the community structure of VAmycorrhizal fungi and the population biology of an ectomycorrhizal addressed. The Basidiomycete, distributional Suillus granulatus, were ecology of VAM fungal communities with grasses was studied across a climatic gradient in the hyper-arid central …

The relationship between dominant forest mycorrhizal type and the belowground mycobiome of the sugar maple and eastern hemlock
… However, in both instances, biotic (e.g., mycorrhizal regimes and fungal communities) and abiotic conditions (e.g., soil chemistry) may act as important filters that potentially impede these migration and adaptation scenarios. Given that dominant forest mycorrhizal types are known to have …

Pinus taeda growth and phosphorus uptake as affected by interactions of mycorrhizae and supplemental phosphorus
… study was initiated to asses P uptake, growth, colonization, total mycorrhizal P levels, and mycorrhizal polyphosphate levels in loblolly pine seedlings colonized with different ectomycorrhizal fungi and grown in a Piedmont soil. The pine seedlings were inoculated with one of four species of …

Transport processes in the arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis
… and fungus is the key element of the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis. The fungus improves the plant’s uptake of mineral nutrients, mainly phosphate, and water, while the plant provides the fungus with photosynthetically assimilated carbohydrates. Still, the knowledge about the mechanisms of …

Developing Production Techniques and A Site Assessment Tool for Forest Farmed Ramps in Appalachia
… examining best-suited ramp ecotypes, mycorrhizal treatment, and habitat suitability determination. In the first study, bulbs and seeds from diverse Appalachian locations were gathered and transplanted to a common experimental site to investigate the effects of different ramp ecotypes …

Overcompensation of Ipomopsis aggregata following ungulate herbivory: getting to the root of it
… with other organisms such as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and other fungal associates that could provide the necessary nutrients needed. A long-term study of the monocarpic biennial, scarlet gilia, Ipomopsis aggregata, showed that ungulate herbivory by mule deer and elk can result …

Characterization of arbuscular mycorrhial fungi on Glycine max and its influence on plant disease severity
… a group of beneficial microbes called arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) that form associations with over 80% of all terrestrial plant species and assist plants by increasing nutrient uptake, drought tolerance, and resilience against pathogens and pests. However, the level of benefit may be …
