The first large public meeting of the Fungal Environmental Sampling and Informatics
Network (FESIN: http://www. bio. utk. edu/fesin/title. htm) took place at the Ecological Society …

Abstract Characterization of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal communities increasingly
relies on high throughput sequencing (HTS) datasets, but whether sequence data accurately …

To enable quantification of mycelial abundance in mixed-species environments, eight new
TaqMan® real-time PCR assays were developed for five arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi form obligate symbiosis with the roots of the majority of
land plants and are found in all terrestrial ecosystems. The source and structure of genetic …

Sequencing of mRNA using next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies (RNA-seq)
has the potential to reveal unprecedented complexity of the transcriptomes. The …

Background Mycorrhizae, symbiotic interactions between soil fungi and tree roots, are
ubiquitous in terrestrial ecosystems. The fungi contribute phosphorous, nitrogen and …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) play a fundamental role in plant growth and nutrition in
natural and agricultural ecosystems. Despite the importance of such symbionts, the different …

RNA sequencing (RNA‐seq) has emerged as a powerful tool for assessing genome‐wide
gene expression, revolutionizing various fields of biology. However, analyzing large RNA …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) impact plant growth and are a major driver of plant
diversity and productivity. We quantified the contribution of intra-specific genetic variability in …

Marginal soils affected by salinity, sodicity and alkalinity decrease crop productivity. In this
context, a viable alternative strategy lies in the remediation of degraded lands using …
