The structure of an ectomycorrhizal community was assessed in a 100-year-old, oligotrophic Norway spruce, Picea abies (L.) Karst.Abstract:
The structure of an ectomycorrhizal community was assessed on a 100-m2 plot in a 100-year-old, oligotrophic Norway spruce, Picea abies (L.) Karst., forest in southern Sweden. During the 6-year stud...read more

Dark septate endophytes: a review of facultative biotrophic root-colonizing fungi
TL;DR: The current literature on DSE and the ecology is reviewed, the need for and direction of future research are discussed, and clear generalizations on their ecological role are drawn.
Journal ArticleDOI
The molecular revolution in ectomycorrhizal ecology: peeking into the black-box.
Thomas R. Horton,Thomas D. Bruns +1 more
TL;DR: Results from these studies have revealed that EM communities are impressively diverse and are patchily distributed at a fine scale below ground, but there is a poor correspondence between fungi that appear dominant as sporocarps vs. those that seem dominant on roots.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ectomycorrhizal lifestyle in fungi: global diversity, distribution, and evolution of phylogenetic lineages
TL;DR: In conclusion, EcM fungi are phylogenetically highly diverse, and molecular surveys particularly in tropical and south temperate habitats are likely to supplement to the present figures.

Direct analysis of wood-inhabiting fungi using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis of amplified ribosomal DNA
Eeva J. Vainio,Jarkko Hantula +1 more
TL;DR: The DGGE analysis of environmental samples collected from Norway spruce stumps showed that the analysis of fungal DNA extracted directly from wood was usually in accordance with the investigation of mycelial cultures isolated from the same decay column, however, disagreement was observed, which suggests that these two fundamentally different techniques present different views about fungal diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vertical niche differentiation of ectomycorrhizal hyphae in soil as shown by T-RFLP analysis
TL;DR: A technique involving soil DNA extraction, PCR and terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis for species identification to investigate the vertical distribution of fungal hyphae in four distinct layers of the forest floor supports the niche differentiation hypothesis as an important mechanism contributing to ectomycorrhizal fungal diversity.

ITS primers with enhanced specificity for basidiomycetes--application to the identification of mycorrhizae and rusts.
M. Gardes,Thomas D. Bruns +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, two taxon-selective primers for the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region in the nuclear ribosomal repeat unit were proposed, which were intended to be specific to fungi and basidiomycetes, respectively.

Specific synthesis of DNA in vitro via a polymerase-catalyzed chain reaction.
Kary B. Mullis,Fred A. Faloona +1 more
TL;DR: A method whereby a nucleic acid sequence can be exponentially amplified in vitro is described in the chapter, and the possibility of utilizing a heat-stable DNA polymerase is explored so as to avoid the need for addition of new enzyme after each cycle of thermal denaturation.

Colour Atlas of Ectomycorrhizae
TL;DR: The Colour Atlas depicts the habit of ectomycorrhizae as well as the functionally important features of many fungal relationships and of the most important ectomyCorrhizal tree genera and is going to include ectomy CorrhizAE from all over the world.

Community structure of ectomycorrhizal fungi in a Pinus muricata forest: above- and below-ground views
Monique Gardes,Thomas D. Bruns +1 more
TL;DR: By using molecular methods based on polymerase chain reaction, this work was able to identify the fungal symbionts directly from mycorrhizae in nearly all of the myCorrhizal morphotypes the authors found.
