Soil salinization adversely affects plant growth and has become one of the major limiting
factors for crop productivity worldwide. The conventional approach, breeding salt-tolerant …

We review the distributions and functions of mycorrhizas and dark septate root endophytes
in polar regions. Arbuscular mycorrhizas (AM) are present in the Arctic and Antarctic to 82° N …

Fine root endophytes (FRE) are arbuscule-forming fungi presently considered as a single
species—Glomus tenue in the Glomeromycota (Glomeromycotina)—but probably belong …

Historic wooden structures in Polar Regions are being adversely affected by decay fungi
and a warming climate will likely accelerate degradation. Fort Conger and the Peary Huts at …

Knowledge about the distribution and local diversity patterns of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM)
fungi are limited for extreme environments such as the Arctic, where most studies have …

Very little is known about fungal diversity in Antarctica as compared to other biomes and
how these important organisms function in this unusual ecosystem. Perhaps one of the most …

Fine root endophytes (FRE) were traditionally considered a morphotype of arbuscular
mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), but recent genetic studies demonstrate that FRE belong within the …

Arbuscular mycorrhizas (AM) are one of the most widespread types of symbiotic
associations. Pteridophytes occupy an important position in the evolution of vascular plants …

The serious problem of extended tissue thickness in the analysis of plant–fungus
associations was overcome using a new method that combines physical and optical …

Mining sites are harsh environments and establishment of root associated symbiotic fungi
may be crucial for plant establishment and long term community development. Diamond …
