Based on morphological and immunological studies, we hypothesize that there are two
lineages within the Sclerotiniaceae, a family of plant-infecting ascomycetes in the order …

Abstract Concept of scale of time and space was introduced to overview soil development

Fungal sclerotia, the resting bodies formed by ectomycorrhizal fungi, are found in forest soils
and characterized by their hard, black, and spherical structure. Bacteria are detected in their …

Sclerotia of S. sclerotiorum are surviving structures and the most important source of
inoculum in sunflower fields. There are few studies about sclerotia survival in uncultivated …

Phylogenetic analyses and morphological characteristics were used to assess the
taxonomic placement of eight plant-pathogenic Sclerotium species. Members of this genus …

The survival of S. sclerotiorum was investigated using sclerotia retrieved from different
depths of soil (ranging from 0 to 20 cm). A large number of fungi were found to colonize the …

The neutral monosaccharide composition of forest soils differs from that of non-forest soils
suggesting there is an accumulation of microbial saccharides. Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi …

RESULTS. Sclerotia were first tested to determine the general nature of exogenous nutrition
required to break their dormancy by placing them in petri dishes on water agar (1.5% Difco …
