We describe here the results of a study conducted to evaluate a terminal restriction fragment
length polymorphism (TRFLP) approach targeting rRNA genes for determination of …

We examined the relationship between relative abundance of ectomycorrhizas in soil cores
determined using morphotype tip counts and terminal restriction fragment length …

In most ectomycorrhizal (EM) community studies involving molecular identification methods
there is a poor correspondence between fungi that appear dominant as sporocarps and …

Molecular methods based on soil DNA extracts are increasingly being used to study the
fungal diversity of ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungal communities in soil. Contrary to EM root tip …

At the interface between plants and soils, ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi explore soils, acquire
resources, transfer resources to plants, and acquire carbon from plants. Mycorrhizas …

Molecular methods have facilitated the identification of the ectomycorrhizal (ECM)
mycobionts on single root tips and there are an increasing number of studies which compare …

A number of methods are available for those researchers considering the addition of
molecular analyses of ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi to their research projects and weighing …

Terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) is an increasingly widely used
technique in mycorrhizal ecology. In this paper, we review the technique as it is used to …

Different primer systems have been developed to characterize arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal
(AMF) communities; however, a direct comparison of their specificity, potential to describe …

Mycorrhiza is a mutualistic symbiosis between some plant species and a diverse group of
soil fungi. Mycorrhizal symbiosis is categorized into discrete types based on the structural …
