It is well established that ectomycorrhizal fungi can use amino acids as nitrogen and carbon
sources, but data on the kinetic properties of amino acid uptake systems of ectomycorrhizal …

Nitrogen (N) is known to be transferred from fungus to plant in the arbuscular mycorrhizal
(AM) symbiosis, yet its metabolism, storage and transport are poorly understood.• In vitro …

While it is accepted that many ectomycorrhizal fungi can assimilate organic substrates and
facilitate transfer of their elemental components to plants, the fate of the carbon contained in …

We examined the extent to which arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi root improved the
acquisition of simple organic nitrogen (ON) compounds by their host plants. In a greenhouse …

This study examined whether two species of Eucalyptus can take up the amino acid glycine
from soil and compared the uptake rate of glycine with the uptake rates of nitrate and …

The kinetics, energetics and specificity of a general amino acid transporter were studied in
the ectomycorrhizal fungus Paxillus involutus (Batsch) Fr. The uptake of amino acids …

Factors affecting amino acid uptake by the ectomycorrhizal fungus Paxillus involutus were
investigated using tracer kinetic experiments. Amino acid uptake by P. involutus was …

Ericoid mycorrhizas are believed to improve N nutrition of many ericaceous plant species
that typically occur in habitats with impoverished nutrient status, by releasing amino acids …

The uptake of 15 N-labelled alanine, ammonium and nitrate was studied in ectomycorrhizal
morphotypes of intact Pinus sylvestris seedlings. PCR-RFLP analysis of the ITS-region of …

Research on plant nitrogen (N) uptake and metabolism has more or less exclusively
concerned inorganic N, particularly nitrate. Nevertheless, recent as well as older studies …
