Journal ArticleDOI
Flavonoids and strigolactones in root exudates as signals in symbiotic and pathogenic plant-fungus interactions.
Siegrid Steinkellner,V.W. Lendzemo,Ingrid Langer,Peter Schweiger,Thanasan Khaosaad,Jean-Patrick Toussaint,Horst Vierheilig +6 more
TL;DR: Flavonoids in plant-fungal interactions such as the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) association and the signaling between different Fusarium species and plants are focused on.
Journal ArticleDOI
Belowground carbon allocation by trees drives seasonal patterns of extracellular enzyme activities by altering microbial community composition in a beech forest soil
Christina Kaiser,Marianne Koranda,Barbara Kitzler,Lucia Fuchslueger,Jörg Schnecker,Peter Schweiger,Frank Rasche,Frank Rasche,Sophie Zechmeister-Boltenstern,Angela Sessitsch,Andreas Richter +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed analysis of the seasonal pattern of microbial community composition and decomposition processes over a 2-year period was conducted in a beech forest and the results indicated that ectomycorrhizal fungi are possibly involved in autumn cellulase and protease activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
An overview of methods for the detection and observation of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in roots
TL;DR: This review provides an overview on present techniques used to visualize AMF in roots and gives recommendations on their use and it is hoped that the present review will help the readers to choose an appropriate method to visualize Am fungi in roots for their specific experimental set-up.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rhizosphere characteristics of the arsenic hyperaccumulator Pteris vittata L. and monitoring of phytoremoval efficiency.
Walter J. Fitz,Walter W. Wenzel,Hao Zhang,Johanna Nurmi,Kamil Stipek,Zuzana Fischerova,Peter Schweiger,Gunda Köllensperger,Lena Q. Ma,Gerhard Stingeder +9 more
TL;DR: Investigation of changes in the rhizosphere characteristics of Pteris vittata (Chinese Brake fern) relevant for its use in phytoextraction found that DGT can be used as a monitoring tool to evaluate the efficiency of phy toextraction and to study the potential resupply of bioavailable pools after phytoremediation has ceased.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ectomycorrhizal communities associated with Populus tremula growing on a heavy metal contaminated site.
TL;DR: The ECM community of European aspen growing on a heavily contaminated site in southern Austria was examined by analysing ECM roots, sorting them into morphotypes, subjecting them to DNA extraction, PCR, and DNA sequencing, and finding no evidence of taxa adapted to summer or autumn conditions.
