Functional diversity of fungal symbiont communities and the impact of biotic and abiotic factors on their composition and assembly
Plants harbor tremendously diverse microbial symbiont communities (“the microbiome”) that affect the host fitness and response to environmental changes. Despite their importance, less attention has been given to the response of microbial symbionts to environmental difference, the understanding of …

Exploring Aethina tumida Biology and the Impacts of Environmental Factors to Generate Novel Management Strategies
… source of attractive volatiles is the A. tumida fungal symbiont Kodamaea ohmeri, which ferments larval waste and is present throughout the A. tumida lifecycle, both externally and in the GI tract. This study explored the development of feeding and soil bioassays to test the effects of several …

Pisolithus Tinctorius Mycobiont Inoculations as a Factor in Performance of Containerized and Bare-Root Shortleaf Pine Seedlings on Lignite Minesoils in Panola County, Texas
… with basidiospores and vegetative mycelia of the fungal symbiont Pisolithus tinctorius on ectomycorrhizae development of short leaf pine (Pinus echinata) seedlings grown in styroblock containers were tested in the greenhouse. These preliminary tests showed that both spores and mycelia will produce …

The role of SPARK-I receptor-like kinases in the arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis
… involves intracellular accommodation of the fungal symbiont and relies on concerted cellular reprograming. Maximal physical interaction is achieved during the emergence and development of the arbuscules, creating a hub for nutrient exchange and potentially for plant-fungal communication. …

Factors influencing the control of the Sirex woodwasp in South Africa
… of S. noctilio. This nematode also feeds on the fungal symbiont of S. noctilio, Amylostereum areolatum. Possible factors influencing the success of this nematode in the summer rainfall areas of South Africa were examined. Data from a field trial revealed that moisture content of the wood …

Biotic and Abiotic Characteristics Influencing Nest Location and Trophic Relationships of the Fungus-Growing Ant <i>Trachymyrmex septentrionalis</i> (Formicidae: <i>Attini)</i>
… to collect sufficient substrate to sustain the fungal symbiont and feed the colony. Soil temperature (23.5 vs. 25.1°C), air temperature (22.3 vs. 26.4°C), and light intensity (302.8 vs. 595.2 lumens) were all found to be significantly higher around inactive nests. Plant cover, which would affect …

Unearthing the mechanisms of the mycorrhizal-bacterial symbiosis in plant roots using a metatranscriptomic approach
… symbiotic species. Recently several obligate endosymbionts of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi have been identified, and these bacteria have been shown to modulate both the metabolism and morphology of the fungal symbionts. However, molecular and functional characterization of these bacterial …
