Serpentine soils are characterized by a disproportionate level of Mg in relation to Ca and
often contain phytotoxic levels of available Ni. Both of these factors may represent stresses …

Cenococcum geophilum forms sclerotia and ectomycorrhizas with host plants in forest soils.
We demonstrated the differences in genetic diversity of C. geophilum between cultured …

Cenococcum geophilum is perhaps the most widely distributed and most recognized
ectomycorrhizal fungus with a host range of more than 200 tree species from 40 genera of …

Background: Serpentine ecosystems support different, often unique, plant communities;
however, we know little about the soil organisms that associate with these ecosystems …

Cenococcum geophilum is a widely distributed mycorrhizal species associated with diverse
gymnosperm and angiosperm hosts. In previous studies, a significant amount of genetic and …

Abstract The fungus Cenococcum geophilum Fr.(Dothideomycetes, Ascomycota) is one of
the most common ectomycorrhizal fungi in boreal to temperate regions. A series of …

Cenococcum geophilum is an ecologically important mycorrhizal fungus with a global
distribution and a wide host range. It has been difficult to study since it forms only sterile …

Serpentine soils select for unique plant communities, often with sparse vegetation.
Mycorrhizal fungi mediate the interaction between plants and soils, yet little is known about …

The ectomycorrhizal fungus Cenococcum geophilum (Ascomycota, Dothideomycetes) forms
black, round to irregular sclerotia in forest soils. Fungi that colonize the sclerotia appear to …

Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis was used to investigate the
genetic diversity in isolates of the ectomycorrhizal fungus Cenococcum geophilum from …
