SUCCESSION OF ARBUSCULAR MYCORRHIZAL FUNGI: CAUSES, CONSEQUENCES, AND CONSIDERATIONS
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are soil fungi associations with the majority of terrestrial plants. These fungi may affect a wide range of ecosystem processes from primary productivity to soil stabilization. Understanding the patterns and controls of AMF abundance during succession soil will be …

Diversity of mycorrhizal fungi and carbon nutrition in tropical epiphytic orchids
… in the nature, depend on the interaction with mycorrhizal fungi to complete the life cycle. At the center of the interaction, different fungi are involved which promote the exchange of compounds, mainly carbon, with the host orchid. However, the diversity of mycorrhizal fungi, mainly those …

Investigations of Bromus tectorum: restoration strategies and interactions with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
… and commercial sources of arbuscular mycorrizal fungi (AMF) inoculum. Bromus tectorum and early successional plant species were negatively responsive and late successional species were positively responsive to field AMF inoculum, while commercial inoculum was ineffective. I compared mycorrhizal …

Establishment of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) on micropropagated teak (Tectona grandis L. F.)
… establish mycorrhizas from different Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) inoculum sources on two micropropagated teak (Tectona grandis L. f.) clones was examined at the acclimatisation phase. Teak shoots were maintained on a multiplication medium containing Murashige and Skoog (MS) nutrients and …

Functional diversity and life history traits of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in disturbed soils
… effectiveness of ten species of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi native to a revegetated coal strip mine site was tested on red clover against a non-mycorrhizal control and against inocula of two commercial isolates. Most (70%) of the isolated species in a native fungal community were as …

Effect of Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria on glomalin production
There is accumulating evidence that arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) produce a glycoprotein called glomalin, which has the potential to increase soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) storage, thereby reducing soil emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrous oxide (N2O) into the atmosphere. However, …

Fostering Populations of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Through Cover Crop Choices and Soil Management
… symbiotic relationship with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. This has triggered interest in the potential role of these fungi in sustain-able food production for an increasing population. However, it is known that many common farming practices can negatively influence both the …

Communities of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi in Salt Marsh Habitats: Diversity, Structure, and Ecosystem Function
… central focus of recent ecological studies, and fungi are considered to play a key role in this relationship. For example, the Mycorrhizae’s association with two-thirds of terrestrial plants makes them one of the most common forms of symbiosis on Earth. Although Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) …

Diversity and Ecology of Mycorrhizal Fungi Associated With Oak Seedlings in the Appalachian Mountains
Diversity of ectotrophic mycorrhizal (EM) fungi on out-planted seedlings of two oak species (Quercus rubra and Q. prinus) was estimated at two sites in mature mixed forests in the southern Appalachian mountains. Late – stage fungi were well represented. Total richness was 73 types, with 42 types …

The Effects of Whole Genome Duplication on Functional Traits and Interactions With Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi
… differ in colonization rates by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) that generally serve as nutrient-providing mutualists. From field-sampled roots, I not only found greater total colonization of AMF on tetraploids than diploids, but that tetraploids also had a greater colonization by …

Symbiotic relationships of <i>alnus glutinosa</i> with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and with <i>frankia</i>
The occurrence in Scotland of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) infective on <i>Alnus glutinosa</i> and the effects on early growth of inoculation of seedlings with AMF and <i>Frankia </i>were investigated. AMF characteristic of <i>Glomus</i>-like fungi were detected microscopically in <i>A. …

Impact of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on crop and weed growth: potential implications for integrated weed managment
… In this study, I investigated whether arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), a group of widely distributed soil fungi, can have suppressive effects on weeds under field conditions varying in soil management practices, and thereby contribute to IWM in agricultural systems. AMF form symbiotic …

Impact of mycorrhizal fungi and nematodes on growth of Andropogon gerardii Vit., soil microbial components and soil aggregation
Biotic interactions among mycorrhizal fungi, nematodes, plants and other microbial communities can have significant effects on the dynamics of C and nutrient cycling. The specific objectives of this study were (1) to evaluate the effects of grazing and mycorrhizal symbiosis on the allocation and …
