Field studies in Argentina's Yunga District revealed Alpova austroalnicola sp. nov., a hypogeous fungus associated with Alnus acuminata ssp. acuminata. Morphological and molecular studies based on amplification and sequencing of the nuclear LSU rDNA gene showed its unique identity within Alpova. Related genera included in the analyses were Boletus edulis, Rhizopogon spp., Suillus luteus and Tru...

Aim It has been proposed that co-invasion with ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi is a common mechanism by which non-indigenous trees overcome symbiont limitation, yet virtually all prior evidence has come from a single plant family, the Pinaceae. We tested the co-invasion hypothesis by examining the EM fungal communities associated with a specialized host, Alnus glutinosa (black alder), and a generali...

The starting material used for the isolation of a factor which inhibits the hemolytic activity of streptolysin-O is a wateracetone fraction (manufacturer’s name: Cernitin spissum) of a standardized pollen mixture obtained from six plant species: Zea maize, Pinus montana, Secale cereal, Phleum pratense, Alnus glutinosa, and Dactilus glomerata. The mixture is produced for commercial purposes by A...

Species-specific basic density (BD) data are necessary to improve the indirect methods of biomass determination. The tree components (e.g., bark, branches, roots) is studied much less than that stem wood. Nevertheless, ignoring specific BD values these in calculations can lead errors. study aims investigate variation aboveground and belowground by studying a total 162 gray alder (Alnus incana (...

Ecological restoration with a multispecies and multifunctional approach can accelerate the re-establishment of numerous ecosystem services. The challenges land that is degraded, damaged, or destroyed post-mining are low productivity soil high potential for contaminants. Herein, we evaluated to strategy through mixture woody herbaceous species, microsymbiont biochar amendments, plant spacing. ex...

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the antioxidant activity and anti-adipogenic effect of extracts from Alnus firma (A. firma), which is an edible plant that grows in mountainous areas. The total phenolic, flavonoid and anthocyanin content as well as the antioxidant activity of a 70% ethanolic extract of A. firma (AFE) was assessed. Furthermore, the effects of AFE on lipid accu...
