Analysis of Sclerotia-Associated Fungal Communities in Cool-Temperate Forest Soils in North Japan
نویسندگان
چکیده
We herein investigated sclerotia that were obtained from cool-temperate forests in Mt. Chokai and Mt. Iwaki in north Japan and tentatively identified as the resting bodies of Cenococcum geophilum. The profiles of sclerotia-associated fungal communities were obtained through T-RFLP combined with clone library techniques. Our results showed that sclerotia in Mt. Chokai and Mt. Iwaki were predominated by Arthrinium arundinis and Inonotus sp., respectively. The results of the present study suggested that these sclerotia-associated species were responsible for the formation of sclerotia or sclerotia were originally formed by C. geophilum, but were subsequently occupied by these species after C. geophilum germinated or failed to survive due to competition.

Comparison of Archaeal Communities in Mineral Soils at a Boreal Forest in Finland and a Cold-Temperate Forest in Japan
Archaeal communities in mineral soils were compared between a boreal forest in Finland and cold-temperate forest in Japan using 16S rRNA gene-targeted high-throughput sequencing. In boreal soils, Thaumarchaeota Group 1.1c archaea predominated and Thaumarchaeota Group 1.1a-associated and Group 1.1b archaea were also detected. In temperate soils, Thaumarchaeota Group 1.1a-associated and Group 1.1...

Diversity and species composition of endophytic fungi on leaves of 11 tree 10 species in Betulaceae were studied, with reference to climatic, tree species, and seasonal 11 variations. A total of 186 fungal isolates were obtained from 190 leaves collected in a 12 subalpine, a cool temperate, and a subtropical forest in Japan and were divided into 46 13 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) accordin...
متن کاملFungal and bacterial communities across meadow–forest ecotones in the western Cascades of Oregon
Meadows are natural dynamic features of forested mountain landscapes of the Pacific Northwest. Proportions of meadows and forests change with environmental conditions and disturbance history. We investigated the belowground microbial communities associated with these two vegetation types and how they change across the meadow–forest transition at two sites in Oregon. Soils were sampled along rep...
متن کاملI , Mycorrhizal Mat Communities in 3 Forest Soils
The role of ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi in forest soil function and tree productivity has become an increasingly important topic for research in light of possible direct large-scale degradation of EM populations in the forests of Europe (Arnolds, 1991). Although there is a rapidly growing body of information being assembled from laboratory studies using pure culture syntheses, there is relativel...
متن کاملSharing of Diverse Mycorrhizal and Root-Endophytic Fungi among Plant Species in an Oak-Dominated Cool–Temperate Forest
Most terrestrial plants interact with diverse clades of mycorrhizal and root-endophytic fungi in their roots. Through belowground plant-fungal interactions, dominant plants can benefit by interacting with host-specific mutualistic fungi and proliferate in a community based on positive plant-mutualistic fungal feedback. On the other hand, subordinate plant species may persist in the community by...
