Summary
Three subtypes of mycorrhizas, sensu Dominik (1955), were found on roots of Alnus viridis growing in New Zealand. Roots with 60% of their rootlets mycorrhizal absorbed phosphate five times as rapidly as non-mycorrhizal roots. Root nodules appear unable to absorb labelled phosphorus actively from externally supplied solution.read more

Mycorrhizas and their Significance in Nodulating Nitrogen-Fixing Plants
TL;DR: This chapter discusses the role of mycorrhizas in the growth and nutrition of nitrogen-fixing nodulated plants, and presents the ecological significance of plants bearing the two types of symbioses, with emphasis on the possibilities of harnessing them to increase crop yield.

Actinorhizal symbioses and their N2 fixation
TL;DR: More than 200 angiosperms, distributed in 25 genera, develop root nodule symbioses (actinorhizas) with soil bacteria of the actinomycetous genus Frankia as mentioned in this paper.

Revisiting ectomycorrhizal fungi of the genus Alnus: differential host specificity, diversity and determinants of the fungal community
Leho Tedersoo,Leho Tedersoo,Triin Suvi,Teele Jairus,Teele Jairus,Ivika Ostonen,Sergei Põlme,Sergei Põlme +7 more
TL;DR: Alder-associated fungi have independently evolved and subsequently radiated in several ectomycorrhizal lineages, indicating frequent and persistent host shifts after the divergence of Alnus and Betula.
