TL;DR: The diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal species was analysed in vegetation patches dominated by Pistacea lentiscus, one of the most representative shrub species from Mediterranean regions and a target plant currently used in revegetation programmes.

TL;DR: From experiments in different colonized host roots growing under several environmental conditions, it seems that GintAQP1 gene expression is regulated in a compensatory way regarding host root aquaporin expression, which could be involved in the transport of water from osmotically favorable growing mycelium or host roots to salt-stressed tissues.

TL;DR: Functional analysis of GintMT1 in a MT-defective Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain indicates that it encodes a functional MT, and suggests that Gint MT1 might afford protection against Cu.

TL;DR: The natural diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in the root-associated soil from long-term established olive tree plantations was analysed and supports the need to explore and exploit the natural diversity as a starting point to formulate inoculants to be applied during the commercial nursery production of olive varieties.

TL;DR: Results show the plasticity of G. intraradices that lets it efficiently exploit an heterogeneous substrate and increased formation of runner hyphae, BAS and spores and an alkalinization of the medium.
