DNA‐based species level detection of Glomeromycota: one PCR primer set for all arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

M Krüger, H Stockinger, C Krüger… - New phytologist, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
At present, molecular ecological studies of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are only

Communities, populations and individuals of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

S Rosendahl - New Phytologist, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in the phylum Glomeromycota are found globally in most
vegetation types, where they form a mutualistic symbiosis with plant roots. Despite their wide …

PacBio sequencing of Glomeromycota rDNA: a novel amplicon covering all widely used ribosomal barcoding regions and its applicability in taxonomy and ecology of …

Z Kolaříková, R Slavíková, C Krüger, M Krüger… - New …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
There is no consensus barcoding region for determination of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal

Where the wild things are: looking for uncultured Glomeromycota

BM Ohsowski, PD Zaitsoff, M Öpik, MM Hart - New Phytologist, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Our knowledge of Glomeromycotan fungi rests largely on studies of cultured isolates.
However, these isolates probably comprise one life‐history strategy–ruderal. Consequently …
