Underground, intricate networks of soil fungi underpin the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. Yet despite their global ...
Infection of rough lemon seedlings (Citrusjambhiri Lush) by the vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungus, Glomus intraradices (Schenck and Smith), increased root growth and transpiration rate and ...
When you look out across a snowy winter landscape, it might seem like nature is fast asleep. Yet, under the surface, tiny ...
The effects of soil P amendments and time of application on the formation of external mycelium by different arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi were studied. In the first experiment the external ...
Sustainable cropping systems will be nutrient efficient and support the capacity of the soil resource. The management of P, a finite resource, appears as a particular challenge. The arbuscular ...
Introduced to the United States over 60 years ago, soybean cyst nematode (SCN) has spread broadly throughout the Midwest and eastern parts of the country. After penetrating the root tissue, SCN take ...
Researchers have found that mycorrhizas promote greater tree species diversity in North American forests. Fungi, specifically those that are "mycorrhizal," are natural allies of the forest because ...
