Correlation between chitin distribution and cell wall morphology in the mycorrhizal fungus Glomus versiforme
TLDR
It is concluded that the probe accessibility to the substrate changes on the in toto hyphae and on the thin sections and that the thick-walled hyphAE have their chitin partially hidden by non-chitinous cell wall components.About:

Signaling in the arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis
TL;DR: The landmark cloning of three plant signaling proteins required for the development of the symbiosis has provided the first insights into a signaling pathway that is used by AM fungi and by rhizobia for their symbiotic associations with legumes.

Carbon Metabolism and Transport in Arbuscular Mycorrhizas
TL;DR: Colonization of the land by plants some 400 million years ago was associated with the colonization of their primitive roots by soil-borne filamentous fungi, and today, 90% to 95% of land plants still maintain some type of primitive root system.

Tansley Review No. 82. Strategies of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi when infecting host plants
Paola Bonfante,Silvia Perotto +1 more
TL;DR: Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi are ancient Zygomycetes thought to have colonized the first land plants; today, they are associated with the roots of about 80% of plant species, and are potentially valuable not only for developmental programmes based on low-input agriculture, but also as a complex experimental model, where both fungal and host plant growth are regulated.

Autofluorescence of atmospheric bioaerosols – fluorescent biomolecules and potential interferences
TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic synthesis of literature data on potentially relevant biological fluorophores was provided for the detection of fluorescent biological aerosol particles (FBAP) by online instrumentation for atmospheric measurements such as the ultraviolet aerodynamic particle sizer (UV-APS) or the wide issue bioaerosol sensor (WIBS).
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.

The purification, composition and specificity of wheat-germ agglutinin
TL;DR: The purification of wheat-germ agglutinin from commercial wheat germ is described and it is proposed that the binding site consists of three or four subsites with differing specificities, in a cleft in the molecule resembling that for hen's-egg-white lysozyme.

Cell-wall synthesis in apical hyphal growth
TL;DR: This chapter discusses the cell wall synthesis in apical hyphal growth and reveals a cytoskeletal organization of the cytoplasm at the apex, which may be crucial to its polarized activity.

The Ultrastructural Architecture of the Walls of Some Hyphal Fungi
D. Hunsley,J. H. Burnett +1 more
TL;DR: From observations, the co-axial distribution of polymers such as β1, 3-3, 6-glucans, glycoproteins, proteins, chitin and cellulose in the walls of each species is inferred, which has both similarities and differences between the species.

Chitinase in roots of mycorrhizal Allium porrum: regulation and localization
Pietro Spanu,Thomas Boller,Alexander Ludwig,Andres Wiemken,Antonella Faccio,Paola Bonfante-Fasolo +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the chitin in the fungal walls is inaccessible to plant chit inase, casting doubts on the possible involvement of this hydrolase in the development of the mycorrhizal fungus.

Cell-wall-bound peroxidase activity in roots of mycorrhizal Allium porrum
TL;DR: The activity of cell-wall-bound peroxidase in Allium porrum L. roots was measured during root growth and development of vesicular–arbuscular mycorrhiza with Glomus versiforme (Karst.) Berch to reveal an increase in the electron-dense deposits in the middle lamella corresponding with fungal penetration.
