Keywords: Ecosystem, Agroforestry, Imperata cylindrica , pioneer, mycorrhizae, inter-cropping, tree architecture, biomass, functional branching analysis Conversion of an Imperata cylindrica ecosystem into an agroforestry ecosystem is a complex process. Integrated control of the I . cylindrica grass is needed in combination with planting deep-rooted ...
"Dipterocarpaceae: Shorea leprosula cuttings, mycorrhizace and nutrients" discusses the mycorrhizal development in conditions of different dosage of NPK fertilizer, on different soil substrates and under different environmental conditions (controlled conditions and semicontrolled conditions).This research was conducted in a greenhouse at the Resear...

The development of symbiosis research over the closing 50 years of the last millenium is reviewed. At the beginning of this period, there had been very little previous research into aquatic microbial symbiosis. The advent of new experimental techniques, combined with the developing acceptance of the symbiotic origin of eukaryotic cell structure (an...

The mycorrhizal status of plant species in north-west Patagonia was examined. Communities representative of Patagonian steppe and marshes were compared with respect to the mycorrhizal status of their species. Most of both native and exotic plant species sampled were arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM). The percentage of species with mycorrhizal association...
Verwijdering van de strooisellagen lijkt een toepasbare maatregel te zijn om het aantal eetbare mycorrhizapaddestoelen te vergroten. Door deze maatregel wordt een grote hoeveelheid stikstof afgevoerd
Fungal fruit bodies were surveyed on a plot area of 1500 m2 from 1975¿99 (excluding 1980¿83) in the fungal reserve La Chaneaz in western Switzerland. Fruit bodies were identified and counted on a weekly basis. Species richness and abundances varied strongly between years. More than 400 species were encountered. Many species were transient; particul...

Until recently little was known about the identity of the genes expressed in the arbuscules of mycorrhizas, due in part to problems associated with cloning genes from the tissues of an obligate symbiont. However, the combination of advanced molecular techniques, innovative use of the materials available and fortuitous cloning has resulted in the re...
This thesis investigates the significance of different mycorrhizal fungi, belonging to different functional types (arbuscular mycorrhiza-AM and ectomycorrhiza-EcM), in Salix repens . A comparison between above-ground and below-ground observations on ectomycorrhizal fungi (EcMF) indicated that neither diversity nor abundance above-ground can be used...
The present study documents the occurrence of mycorrhizal associations in the rain forests of south Cameroon. All species investigated are mycorrhizal. Most timber species form arbuscular mycorrhiza, but some timber species, which usually occur in clumps, form ectomycorrhiza. Species diversity of ectomycorrhizal fungi in the undisturbed rain forest...

Non-mycorrhizal Corylus avellana L. seedlings and filbert seedlings colonized with Tuber albidum Pico were grown in semihydroponic culture with frequent renewed nutrient solution. The seedlings were exposed to 0.96 μM of KCr(SO4)2 ·12H2O and of K2CrO4 for one month. Such a low concentration of Cr slightly increased the fine root length. Chromium di...
