Mycorrhizae, the symbioses between fungi and plant roots, are nearly universal in terrestrial
plants and can be classified into two major types: endomycorrhizae and ectomycorrhizae …

Optimizing loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) productivity using fertilizers and various site
management practices has been a goal of foresters for decades. Nitrogen (N), phosphorus …

Lipo-chitooligosaccharides (LCOs) are signaling molecules produced by rhizobial bacteria
that trigger the nodulation process in legumes, and by some fungi that also establish …

Isolates can be systematically screened for desired characters in vitro. These and other
laboratory tests must be followed by experimental inoculations of seedlings and outplanting …

Agricultural by-products can be upcycled into environmentally-sustainable, inexpensive
chitinous materials and nanofibers derived from fungal mycelium for composites, cosmetics …

Several authors have proposed that soils are made up of aggregates of various sizes,
stabilised by different organic and inorganic materials. Fungal hyphae have been shown to …

Eco-engineering aims at stabilising soil and slopes by applying technical and biological
