Ericoid mycorrhizal (ErM) shrubs commonly occur in forest understories and could therefore
alter arbuscular (AM) and/or ectomycorrhizal (EcM) tree effects on soil carbon and nitrogen …

The mutualistic relationship between mycorrhizal fungi and plant roots is a widespread
terrestrial symbiosis. The symbiosis enables plants to better adapt to adverse soil conditions …

Some soil fungi in the Leotiomycetes form ericoid mycorrhizal (ERM) symbioses with
Ericaceae. In the harsh habitats in which they occur, ERM plant survival relies on nutrient …

Introduction Endophytic microorganisms are bacteria or fungi that inhabit plant internal
tissues contributing to various biological processes of plants. Some endophytic microbes …

Ericoid mycorrhiza occur only within the plant family Ericaceae, yet are globally widespread
and contribute to carbon and nutrient cycling in many habitats where harsh conditions limit …

This study investigated ericoid mycorrhizal fungi (EMF) diversity in Vaccinium uliginosum
across its main wild distribution range in China. Fungal communities in hair roots of V …

A new mycorrhizal fungal strain was isolated from hair roots of Rhododendron fortunei Lindl.
grown in Huading Forest Park, Zhejiang Province, China. Morphological characterization …

Living organisms establish complex networks of mutualistic and antagonistic interactions in
nature, which impact strongly on their own survival and on the stability of the whole …

Societal impact statement This investigation addresses the diversity of microbial
endosymbionts in cranberry, which are among the least understood and ill‐defined ericoid …

To examine the effects of ericoid mycorrhizal (ERM) fungi on salt tolerance of ericaceous
plants, we inoculated roots of velvetleaf blueberry (Vaccinium myrtilloides), Labrador tea …
