Abstract A growing body of evidence suggests that plant root-associated fungi such as dark septate endophytes (DSE) can help plants overcome many biotic and abiotic stresses, great interest is DSE-plant metal tolerance alleviation capabilities on contaminated soils. However, the mechanisms involved have not yet been elucidated. In current study, regulation physiological response Zea mays to its DSE, Exophiala pisciphila was analyzed under increased soil Cd stress (0, 10, 50, 100 mg kg −1 )....
The communities of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) colonizing the roots Bothriochloa pertusa, Cajanus cajan and Heteropogon contortus in a fallow land (FL) an undisturbed (UL) were characterized. large subunit rDNA genes AMF from amplified cloned. A total 2353 clones screened by restriction fragment length polymorphism, 428 subsequently sequenced. 393 sequences, which grouped into 100 operational taxonomic units, obtained. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that sequences belonged to Glomus,...
Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) compose a family of multifunctional enzymes that play important roles in the detoxification xenobiotics and oxidative stress response. In present study, twenty four GST genes from transcriptome metal-tolerant dark septate endophyte (DSE), Exophiala pisciphila, were identified based on sequence homology, their responses to various heavy metal exposures also analyzed. Phylogenetic analysis showed 24 E. pisciphila (EpGSTs) divided into eight distinct classes,...
Abstract The colonization characteristics and diversity of dark septate endophytes (DSE) associated with plants growing in a lead zinc slag heap more than 250-year history southwestern China were assessed. A total 117 plant samples belonging to 29 species 19 families examined, 97% (28/29) colonized by fungal hyphae or microsclerotia. DSE intensity varied greatly across also individuals the same species, showing hyphal range 0.0–35.7%. In total, 38 melanized root-associated fungi various...
Summary Local pathogens can accumulate as asymptomatic endophytes, making it difficult to detect the impacts of invasive species propagators disease in invaded range. We used plant Ageratina adenophora assess such accumulation. intensively collected foliar fungal endophytes and leaf spot A. co‐occurring neighbours performed an inoculation experiment evaluate their pathogenicity host harboured diverse necrotrophic pathogens; its communities were different composition shared only a small...
In nature, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) play a crucial role in the root systems of plants. They can help enhance resistance host plants by improving compartmentalization toxic metal contaminants cell walls (CWs). However, functions and responses various CW subfractions to colonization under Cd exposure remain unknown. Here we conducted study investigate how is stored maize roots colonized Funneliformis mosseae. Our findings indicate that inoculating with AMF significantly lowers amount...
Pot culture experiments were established to determine the effects of colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) (Glomus mosseae and G. sp) on maize (Zea mays L.) grown in Pb, Zn, Cd complex contaminated soils. AMF non-AMF inoculated sterilized substrates subjected different soil heavy metal (Pb, Cd) concentrations. The root shoot biomasses significantly higher than those non-inoculated maize. concentrations roots shoots both maize, indicating metals mostly accumulated translocation...
Abstract Effective conservation and utilization strategies for natural biological resources require a clear understanding of the populations target organisms. Tricholoma matsutake is an ectomycorrhizal mushroom that forms symbiotic associations with plants plays important ecological role in forest ecosystems many parts world. It also economically very gourmet mushroom. Because no artificial cultivation available, this species are under increasing threats, primarily from habitat disturbance...
Abstract We investigated the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) colonization and spore density in cropped land, fallow an undisturbed savanna ecosystem under hot arid climatic conditions a valley of southwest China. Plants surveyed three land‐use types showed heavy colonization, indicating high dependency plants this environment. One‐way analysis variance (ANOVA) that different AM structures varied greatly among plant species both within between types. The were higher than or land. No significant...
