Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have repeatedly been demonstrated to alleviate heavy
metal stress of plants. The current manuscript summarizes results obtained to date on the …

Aims The most common metric of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) abundance is percent
root length colonized (PRLC) by mycorrhizal structures. Frequently, plants with greater …

The rhizodeposition of plants dramatically influence the surrounding soil and its microflora.
Root exudates have pronounced selective and promoting effects on specific microbial …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) communities were established in pots using fungal
isolates from a single field in Switzerland. It was tested whether multispecies mixtures …

Arbuscular mycorrhiza is a mutually beneficial biological association between species in the
fungal phylum Glomeromycota and higher plants roots. The symbiosis is thought to have …

One of the most cited papers in arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) research was published by
Phillips and Hayman in 1970 describing an easy standard method to stain AM fungi (AMF) in …

After replanting apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) on the same site severe growth
suppressions, and a decline in yield and fruit quality are observed in all apple producing …

Root-knot nematodes (RKN) are major crop pathogens worldwide. Trichoderma genus fungi
are recognized biocontrol agents and a direct activity of Trichoderma atroviride (Ta) against …

Different primer systems have been developed to characterize arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal
(AMF) communities; however, a direct comparison of their specificity, potential to describe …

Due to long-term trends in global climate change and the expansion of maize production in
drought-prone regions, the development of drought-tolerant maize varieties is of high …
