Ectomycorrhizal fungi are symbiotically associated microorganisms which ecological
importance has been repeatedly demonstrated. There has been a considerable amount of …

In this review we compare the structure and function of the interfaces between symbionts in
biotrophic associations. The emphasis is on biotrophic fungal parasites and on mycorrhizas …

Mycorrhizal fungi are involved in the uptake of nutrients in exchange for C from host plants,
and possibly in the transfer of C and nutrients between plants. Ecto-mycorrhizal fungi (EMF) …

summary The growth of ten species of ectomycorrhizal fungi was measured in liquid media
containing different organic and inorganic nitrogen sources. All fungi grew well on …

This work was aimed at understanding how the functional diversity of ectomycorrhizas
(ECM) is driven by environmental factors and how it adapts to the structure of the forest …

summary The arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus Glomus intraradices Schenck and Smith
was grown in symbiosis with Cucumis sativus L. ev. Aminex (Fl hybrid) in mesh bags …

Background Mycorrhizal symbiosis is one of the most fundamental types of mutualistic plant-
microbe interaction. Among the many classes of mycorrhizae, the arbuscular mycorrhizae …

Nutrient transport in mycorrhizas occurs across specialized interfaces which are the result of
corrdinated development of the organisms. The structural modifications give rise to large …

Background One method for rejuvenating land polluted with anthropogenic contaminants is
through phytoremediation, the reclamation of land through the cultivation of specific crops …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) symbiosis is a mutualistic interaction between certain soil fungi and
fine roots of perennial plants, mainly forest trees, by which both partners become capable of …
