Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are crucial mutualistic symbionts of the majority plant species, with essential roles in nutrient uptake and stress mitigation. The importance AM ecosystems contrasts our limited understanding patterns fungal biogeography environmental factors that drive those patterns. This article presents a release newly developed global dataset (GlobalAMFungi database, https://globalamfungi.com) aims to reduce this knowledge gap. It contains almost 50 million...
Summary There is no consensus barcoding region for determination of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) taxa. To overcome this obstacle, we have developed an approach to sequence AMF marker within the ribosome‐encoding operon (rDNA) that covers all three widely applied variable molecular markers. Using a nested PCR specific AMF, amplified part ( c. 2.5 kb) rDNA spanning majority small subunit rRNA (SSU) gene, complete internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and large (LSU) gene. The products were...
Abstract Soil microbial networks play a crucial role in plant community stability. However, we lack knowledge on the network topologies associated with stability and pathways shaping these networks. In 13-year mesocosm experiment, determined links between soil We found that communities abandoned from agricultural practices 60 years prior to experiment promoted destabilising properties were coupled prokaryote fungal This coupling was mediated by strong interactions of plants microbiota...
Seagrasses provide invaluable ecosystem services yet very little is known about their root mycobiont diversity and distribution. Here we focused on the dominant Mediterranean seagrass Posidoniaoceanica assessed its mycobiome at 32 localities covering most of ecoregions in NW Sea using light scanning electron microscopy tag-encoded 454-pyrosequencing. Microscopy revealed that recently discovered dark septate endophytic association specific for P.oceanica present all pyrosequencing confirmed...
Fungi in the genus Geosmithia (Ascomycota: Hypocreales) are frequent associates of bark beetles and woodborers that colonize hardwood coniferous trees. One species, morbida, is an economically damaging invasive species. The authors surveyed species California Colorado, USA, to (i) provide baseline data on taxonomy beetle vector specificity across western USA; (ii) investigate subcortical fauna for alternative vectors G. morbida; (iii) interpret community composition this region within...
Abstract Rocky habitats, globally distributed ecosystems, harbour diverse biota, including numerous endemic and endangered species. Vascular plants thriving in these environments face challenging abiotic conditions, requiring morphological physiological adaptations. Their engagement with the surrounding microbiomes is, however, equally vital for their adaptation, fitness, long‐term survival. Nevertheless, there remains a lack of understanding this complex interplay within fascinating biotic...
Premise of the Study Genome duplication is associated with multiple changes at different levels, including interactions pollinators and herbivores. Yet little known whether polyploidy may also shape belowground interactions. Methods To elucidate potential ploidy‐specific arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi ( AMF ), we compared colonization assembly communities in roots diploid tetraploid Centaurea stoebe s.l. (Asteraceae) co‐occurring a Central European population. In follow‐up greenhouse...

Abstract Core Ericaceae produce delicate hair roots with inflated rhizodermal cells that host plethora of fungal symbionts. These poorly known mycobionts include various endophytes, parasites, saprobes, and the ericoid mycorrhizal (ErM) fungi (ErMF) form ErM symbiosis crucial for fitness their hosts. Using microscopy high-throughput sequencing, we investigated structural molecular diversity in 14 different × site combinations Northern Bohemia (Central Europe) Patagonia (South America). While...
Understanding the symbiosis of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) with plants in relation to soil nutrients and enzyme activities under different grazing intensities can be an important guide for management protection semi-arid grasslands. The aim present study was evaluate how interaction intensity shapes composition AMF communities, nutrient resorption a grassland ecosystem Iran. Sampling conducted rhizosphere dominant plant species (i.e., Salsola laricina, Artemisia siberia, Stipa...
