The diversity and functionality of ericoid mycorrhizal (ErM) fungi are still being understudied.
Members of Chaetothyriomycetidae evolved a specific lifestyle of inhabiting extreme, poor …

Archaeorhizomyces is a genus of the subphylum Taphrinomycotina, which contains soil-
inhabiting/root-associated fungi. It is a diverse, ubiquitous, and sometimes dominant genus …

Premise Most plants interact with mycorrhizal fungi and animal pollinators simultaneously.
Yet, whether mycorrhizae affect traits important to pollination remains poorly understood and …

Mycorrhizae are important to plants in improving nutrient absorption and stress resistance.
To study mycorrhizal fungal diversity in blueberry, we combined culture method and culture …

Roots are associated with fungal communities that affect plant growth and health. Individual
root-associated fungi have different effects on plant performance, from detrimental to …

Purpose This study aimed to isolate and assign at genus level the dark septate endophytes
(DSE) that colonize native Ericaceae plants in the Andes Mountains of southern Chile and …

Methods In this study, a metagenomic approach of the local fungal and bacterial community
of the rhizosphere of Vaccinium corymbosum plants was performed. At the same time, both …

Lifecycle and temporal functionality of ericaceous fine roots can be affected by colonization
dynamics of diverse root colonizing fungi. However, states of colonization are unknown for …

Ecological communities typically contain more species when located within geologically
older regions. This pattern is traditionally attributed to the long‐term accumulation of species …

Four strains of the fungal genus Oidiodendron were isolated from the fine roots of Vaccinium
boniense which is distributed only on the Bonin Islands, Japan. Two new species …
