Abstract Aims Ericoid mycorrhizal (ErM) fungi and other ericaceous root symbionts do not
completely degrade lignin, therefore the presence of lignin in organic residues may present …

Two year old Cunninghamia lanceolata seedlings, growing in Shangnan County, were
inoculated with three ecotomycorrhizal fungi, Suillus bovines, Suillus luteus and Boletus …

To verify the acclimation capacity of evergreen Fagaceae species on calcareous soil, we
compared ecophysiological traits between Quercus glauca Thunb., Q. salicina Blume, Q …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) colonize the roots of numerous aquatic and wetland
plants, but the establishment and functioning of mycorrhizal symbiosis in submerged …

Root-associated mycorrhizal fungi affect plant growth and resource allocation. Our major
aim was to explore the plant-internal mechanisms behind the effects of mycorrhizal …

Aim Soil microbial legacy is a potentially important regulator of the associations of plants
and mycorrhizal fungi. However, our understanding of how plant performance and root …

Echinacea purpurea is a native herbaceous perennial with substantial economic value for its
medicinal and ornamental qualities. Arbuscular mycorrhizae are symbiotic fungi that form …

Salt stress harms the growth and development of plants, and the degree of soil salinization
in North China is becoming increasingly severe. Ectomycorrhiza (ECM) is a symbiotic …

Symbiotic associations with microbes can help plants to respond to environmental changes.
In this study, we investigated how colonization by root endophytic fungi enhances …

Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EcMF) are the key symbionts of numerous woody plants in many
ecosystems worldwide (Smith & Read, 2008; Tedersoo, 2017). They positively affect host …
