Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi form associations with trees, which may be beneficial to
improve host growth and phosphorus (P) uptake in P-deficient soils. Therefore, P …

The objectives of the study are firstly to test the ability of ectomycorrhizal pine seedlings to
use apatite as a P source in comparison with non-mycorrhizal pine seedlings and secondly …

Ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi could form symbiosis with plant roots and participate in nutrient
absorption; however, many EM species commonly found in forest soils, where phosphorus …

The symbiotic characteristics of early stage fungi associated with native and exotic pines
were explored. Axenically germinated seedlings of native (Pinus yunnanensis and P …

Phosphorus (P), an essential nutrient for growth and development of plants, participates in
most biolo-gical metabolic processes in plants. However, soil P availability is low due to …

The association of ectomycorrhizal fungi with tree roots enhances the acquisition of
phosphorus (P) from the soil. In addition to increasing the uptake of H2PO4−(Pi), mycorrhizal …

Many forest tree species are dependent on their symbiotic interaction with ectomycorrhizal
(ECM) fungi for phosphorus (P) uptake from forest soils where P availability is often limited …

Introduction Phosphorus (P) is often the first or second element limiting aboveground net
primary productivity of forests. Besides low available inorganic orthophosphate (Pi) …

Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient with low bioavailability in soils for plant growth. The
use of P solubilization fungi (PSF) has arisen as an eco-friendly strategy to increase this …

The effect of three arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi on phosphorus (P) nutrient activation
and acquisition by maize from spatially heterogeneous sand was investigated using dual …
