Twenty-one isolates of the ectomycorrhizal fungus Suillus luteus were screened for their
tolerance to the heavy metals Zn, Cd, Cu and Ni, measured as inhibition of radial growth and …

The ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungus Hebeloma cylindrosporum is an appropriate model to
study the intraspecific functional diversity of ECM fungi in forest ecosystems. Numerous …

Aims Metal hyperaccumulation is a rare phenomenon described for an increasing number of
plant taxa. In this study we investigated the root growth responses of the well-known nickel …

In New Caledonia, a hot spot of biodiversity, plants from the Cyperaceae family are mostly
endemic and considered pioneers of the nickel-rich natural serpentine ecosystem. The aim …

Although interspecific variation in the response of ectomycorrhizal fungi to salinity has been
examined, knowledge of the intraspecific variation is limited. We evaluated the salinity …

Nickel (Ni) is an essential element for many organisms; however, it is very toxic at high
concentrations and also depending on the species. In macrofungi the mechanisms …

The huge diversity of fungi may reflect both the heterogeneity of the niches they occupy and
the diverse stresses they must cope with. In order to investigate the genetic and functional …

Nickel (Ni)‐tolerant ectomycorrhizal P isolithus albus was isolated from extreme ultramafic
soils that are naturally rich in heavy metals. This study aimed to identify the specific …

Nickel hyperaccumulation may be associated with increased Ni tolerance for some plant
species that grow on serpentine soils. We contrasted the Ni tolerance of three species: a Ni …

Aims The study aimed at characterizing the patterns of natural variation in the tolerance and
accumulation capacities for zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd), and nickel (Ni) between and within …
