Most underground fungi remain unknown, and urgent action is needed to study their crucial role in sustaining ecosystems the ...

Mycorrhizal fungi help regulate the Earth's climate and ecosystems by forming underground networks that provide plants with ...

Ectomycorrhizal symbiosis is essential for the nutrition of most temperate forest trees and helps regulate the movement of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) through forested ecosystems. The factors ...

Reba McEntire and Rex Linn's mutual love for "the cowboy way of life" created a "perfect union" for the two. McEntire, who is set to host the Academy of Country Music Awards on Thursday, opened up ...

In a polytunnel on the Scottish island of Bute, thousands of spindly Scots pine seedlings are growing. On the surface, nothing could appear more commonplace than Scots pine growing in Scotland.

A majority of tree species depend on underground symbiotic fungi, called ectomycorrhizal fungi, for the nutrients and water they need to survive (SN: 7/13/09). Like other organisms ...

thereby adding another partner to the resource supply chains of the mycorrhizal symbiosis? We approached these questions in dual stable-isotope labeling experiments where young, ectomycorrhizal beech ...

This is particularly true for tree symbioses with ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF), which are widespread ... lag is linked to reduced diversity of EMF partners, indicating that symbiotic disequilibrium is ...

There are 72 known genes involved in arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis. The researchers began by looking for these genes in the transcription patterns of three categories of plants: species that only ...

and partially characterized as a fungal marker gene of ectomycorrhizal symbiosis formation. We used the 5’ rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) to obtain the PtSRP mRNA 5’ region, and together with ...

Ectomycorrhizae is a symbiosis established between tree roots and soil-borne fungi. Intrinsic to temperate and boreal forest ecosystems, ectomycorrhizal symbiosis is critical for tree nutrition ...
