The majority of plants have mycorrhizal fungi associated with them. Mycorrhizal fungi are
ecologically significant because they form relationships in and on the roots of a host plant in …

The mutualistic relationship between mycorrhizal fungi and plant roots is a widespread
terrestrial symbiosis. The symbiosis enables plants to better adapt to adverse soil conditions …

Some soil fungi in the Leotiomycetes form ericoid mycorrhizal (ERM) symbioses with
Ericaceae. In the harsh habitats in which they occur, ERM plant survival relies on nutrient …

Mutualistic plant-associated fungi are recognized as important drivers in plant evolution,
diversity, and health. The discovery that mycoviruses can take part and play important roles …

In the rhizosphere, exudates from plants and microorganisms as well as stable soil organic
matter influence processes that can control plant growth, microbial infections, and nutrient …

This new edition of Fungi in Ecosystem Processes continues the unique approach of
examining the roles of fungi from the perspective of ecosystem functions. It explores how …

Simple Summary In this study, cadmium, chromium, and lead tolerant microbes have been
isolated from contaminated mining soil and characterized. Molecular characterization of …

In the present study the population of fungi inhabiting metal contaminated soil samples from
lead-zinc mining area was investigated, and their tolerance and biosorption capacity …

This work investigates the ability of ericoid mycorrhizal (ErM) and ectomycorrhizal (EcM)
fungi to solubilize different toxic metal (Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn)-containing minerals. Minerals were …

Plants that form ericoid mycorrhizal associations are widespread in harsh habitats. Ericoid
mycorrhizal fungal endophytes are a genetically diverse group, and they appear to be able …
