Facilitation between woody and herbaceous plants that associate with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in temperate European forests
In late-successional environments, low in available nutrient such as the forest understory, herbaceous plant individuals depend strongly on their mycorrhizal associates for survival. We tested whether in temperate European forests arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) woody plants might facilitate the establishment of AM herbaceous plants in agreement with the mycorrhizal mediation hypothesis. We used a ...
متن کاملArbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and dark septate fungi in plants associated with aquatic environments
Th ere have been several reports of symbionts in the roots of plants that live in aquatic environments. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are the most common microsymbionts and possibly recolonized the aquatic environment together with plants; however, their functions and the extent of their benefi ts are unclear. Furthermore, the presence of other groups of fungi, such as dark septate fungi (...
متن کاملArbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (Glomeromycota) harbour ancient fungal tubulin genes that resemble those of the chytrids (Chytridiomycota).
The genes encoding alpha- and beta-tubulins have been widely sampled in most major fungal phyla and they are useful tools for fungal phylogeny. Here, we report the first isolation of alpha-tubulin sequences from arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). In parallel, AMF beta-tubulins were sampled and analysed to identify the presence of paralogs of this gene. The AMF alpha-tubulin amino acid phylogen...
متن کاملPlants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi: an evolutionary-developmental perspective.
Arbuscular mycorrhizas (AMs) are widespread symbiotic associations that are commonly described as the result of co-evolution events between fungi and plants where both partners benefit from the reciprocal nutrient exchange. Here, we review data from fossil records, characterizations of AM fungi in basal plants and live cell imaging of angiosperm colonization processes from an evolutionary-devel...
متن کاملArbuscular mycorrhizal fungi ameliorate temperature stress in thermophilic plants.
Biotic interactions can affect the distribution of species across environmental gradients, and as air and soil temperatures increase, plant community response may depend on interactions with symbionts. We measured the effect of elevated soil temperatures on mycorrhizal function and on the response of both plant and fungal symbionts, using fungal inoculum isolated from either high-temperature th...
