UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY Phylogenetic and microsatellite markers were developed for Tulasnella mycorrhizal fungi to investigate fungal species identity and diversity. These markers will be useful in future studies investigating the phylogenetic relationship of the fungal symbionts, specificity of orchid-mycorrhizal associations, and the role of mycorrhizae in orchid speciation within ...

Temporal studies that would offer insight into resilience of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) communities in stress prone climates are scarce despite their role tree nutrition and water supply. Our study characterized the vitality, community composition, diversity, function Quercus pubescens Willd. ECM fungi Sub-Mediterranean stress-prone environment for 2 consecutive years (June 2016–May 2018) related in...

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal composition was examined in a Pinus tabulaeformis Carr. forest. A total of 28 root samples of P. tabulaeformis were collected in June and September. Thirty-five ECM morphotypes were identified according to ECM morphological characters, and 26 ECM fungi were identified based on the analyses of ITS-RFLP and ITS sequences. Tomentella, Sebacina, and Tuber were common ge...

Limestone soils are stressful for plant growth. Plant-associated ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi may promote growth under conditions, yet available information on ECM in limestone areas is scarce. We investigated the fungal communities associated with dominant tree species a subarctic area. aimed to determine whether differed between calcareous and non-calcareous areas, distribution property common...
