ABSTRACT Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF, phylum Glomeromycota) are essential to plant community diversity and ecosystem functioning. However, increasing human land use represents a major threat native AMF globally. Characterizing the loss of remains challenging because many taxa undescribed, resulting in poor documentation their biogeography family‐level disturbance sensitivity. We survey sites representing human‐altered ecosystems across American continents—in Alaska, Kansas, Brazil—to...
Agroecology aims to maintain ecosystem services by minimizing the impact of agriculture and promoting use biological potential. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are elements which key improving crop productivity soil quality. It is pertinent understand how agricultural management in tropics affects AMF spatio-temporal community composition, especially crops global importance, such as coffee (Coffea arabica L.). Soil root samples were collected from three localities under systems...
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF; Glomeromycota) are difficult to culture; therefore, establishing a robust amplicon-based approach taxa identification is imperative describe AMF diversity. Further, due low and biased sampling of taxa, molecular databases do not represent the breadth diversity, making database matching approaches suboptimal. Therefore, full description diversity requires tool determine sequence-based placement in Glomeromycota clade. Nonetheless, commonly used gene regions,...
The aim of this work was to evaluate the occurrence arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) species diversity in soil samples from Amazon region under distinct land use systems (Forest, Old Secondary Forest, Young Agroforestry systems, Crops and Pasture) using two trap cultures. Traps established Sorghum sudanense Vigna unguiculata (at Universidade Regional de Blumenau -FURB) Brachiaria decumbens Neonotonia wightii Federal Lavras - UFLA) were grown for 150 days greenhouse conditions, when spore...
A sand dune area in Santa Catarina, Brazil, was surveyed every 3 months to determine species composition and seasonal variation of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi populations associated with Spartina ciliata. Spores from 12 fungal were recovered. Overall richness 5.9. plot rank versus abundance provided an indirect measure the structure community showed a linear relationship among species. mean 298 spores/100 g soil extracted samples, Acaulospora scrobiculata forming 50.9% total population. The...
ABSTRACT Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) interact symbiotically with most plant species, facilitating revegetation of areas under rehabilitation. The aim this study was to evaluate the inoculum potential, density, and diversity AMF spores in five environments, as well relation species soil properties. Soil samples were collected environments a mining area its surroundings Quadrilátero Ferrífero, Minas Gerais (Brazil): tailings piles rehabilitation grass, canga, Cerrado, native forest,...
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF—Glomeromycota) are a group of soil with widespread occurrence in terrestrial ecosystems where they play important roles that influence plant growth and ecosystem processes. The aim this paper is to reveal AMF distribution the Neotropics based on an extensive biogeography database literature data from last five decades. All four orders 11 families were reported Neotropics. 221 species (69% total number for phylum) registered pertaining 37 genera. Acaulospora...
Recent work established a backbone reference tree and phylogenetic placement pipeline for identification of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) large subunit (LSU) rDNA environmental sequences. Our previously published allowed any sequence to be identified as putative AMF or within one the major families. Despite this contribution, difficulties in implementation remain. Here, we present an updated database with (1) expanded include four newly described genera (2) several changes improve ease...
Spore differentiation sequences are defined and compared in different geographic isolates of four Glomus species to better define species-level morphological characters integrate these into a model spore ontogenesis Glomales. Phenotypically discrete spores all originated as component parts wall. This wall differentiated linear sequence new layers that formed concurrently the subtending hypha. Species were separated two groups differed structure hyphal most juvenile stage: (i) single...
This study aimed to assess the impact of different land uses on spore density and richness arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in a Red Latosol tropical savanna biome Brazil (“Cerrado”). Ten soil samples roots were obtained from riparian forest, pasture, an annual crop production system with no tillage, coffee plantation dry wet seasons. Spores extracted, counted, identified field soils, stained colonization. A total 42 AMF species detected all four uses. The genus Acaulospora had largest...
