Abstract Mycorrhiza is a mutualistic symbiosis between some plant species and diverse group of soil fungi. Mycorrhizal categorized into discrete types based on the structural differences taxonomic position involved plants The main mycorrhiza include arbuscular, ericoid, orchid, monotropoid ectomycorrhiza, latter being focus this review. Identifying ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) crucial for unders...

In ectomycorrhizae, the relative abilities of mycobiont and host plant to take up and store inorganic nutrients are not easily determined due to the intimate physical relationship of the two components forming the association. Since compartmental analysis of solute elution can estimate cellular compartment pool sizes and unidirectional fluxes across membranes, we have used this method to study ...

Ectomycorrhizae (EM) are important for the survival of seedlings and trees, but how they will react to global warming or changes in soil fertility is still in question. We tested the effect of soil temperature manipulation and nitrogen fertilization on EM communities in a high-altitude Pinus cembra afforestation. The trees had been inoculated in the 1960s in a nursery with a mixture of Suillus ...

Although oaks belong to the economically most important hardwood tree species in Europe, data on diversity of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi pedunculate oak Republic Serbia are deficient. The aim our study was give first insight into ECM young stand Morović, Serbia. combination morpho-anatomical characterization and molecular analysis used for determination penduculate oak. Studied parameters incl...

Tuberculate ectomycorrhizae (TECM) are unique structures in which aggregates of ectomycorrhizal roots are encased in a covering of fungal hyphae. The function of TECM is unknown, but they probably enhance the nitrogen nutrition and disease resistance of host plants. Trees in the Pinaceae form TECM with species of Rhizopogon and Suillus (Suillineae, Boletales). Similar tubercules are found with ...
