The ectomycorrhizal (EcM) symbiosis involves a large number of plant and fungal taxa
worldwide. During studies on EcM diversity, numerous misidentifications, and contradictory …

Most mycorrhizas are 'balanced'mutualistic associations in which the fungus and plant
exchange commodities required for their growth and survival. Myco-heterotrophic plants …

This account presents information on all aspects of the biology of R obinia pseudoacacia L.
that are relevant to understanding its ecological characteristics and behaviour. The main …

Thousands of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal species exist, but estimates of global species
richness of ECM fungi differ widely. Many genera have been proposed as being ECM, but in …

A growing body of molecular research is discovering a high diversity of pezizalean
ectomycorrhiza (EcM), yet most remain unidentified at the genus or species level. This study …

Abstract Knowledge about the mycorrhizal root traits of plants is critical for understanding
ecosystem processes from landscape to global scale. In spite of> 130 years of research …

Deserts are apparently lifeless. Yet there appear a number of microhabitats that are
inhabited by microorganisms. Since stress allows only the tolerant forms to grow, the …

Terfezia and Tirmania, so called desert truffles, are mycorrhizal fungi mostly endemic to arid
and semi-arid areas of the Mediterranean Region, where they are associated with …

This work presents the first anatomical description of the mycorrhizal systems of
Helianthemum almeriense, and of the structure and ultrastructure of the mycorrhizae formed …

Aims Cropland agroforestry systems are land-use systems with numerous environmental
advantages over monoculture croplands including promotion of soil life. This study aimed to …
