The Bacteria Associated with Laccaria Laccata Ectomycorrhizas Or Sporocarps: Effect on Symbiosis Establishment on Douglas Fir*
Symbiosis, 9 (1990) 267-273 267 Balaban Publishers, Philadelphia/Rehovot The Bacteria Associated with Laccaria Laccata Ectomycorrhizas or Sporocarps: Effect on Symbiosis Establishment on Douglas Fir* J. GARBA YE, R. DUPONNOIS and J.L. WAHL IN RA, Centre de recherches [orestieres de Nancy, Champenoux, F 54280 Seichamps Abstract A range of bacteria isolated form mycorrhizas and sporocarps of the ectomycorrhizal fungus Laccaria laccata were tested for their effect on ectomycorrhizal development of this fungus on Douglas fir seedlings, both in containers in the glasshouse and in a bare-root nursery. Some of them reduced infection, but some others were very stimulating. These results are discussed from the standpoint of both ecology of mycorrhizal symbioses and forestry practice. Introduction It has been shown on different plant - fungus couples that bacteria present in soil, rhizosphere and mycorrhizas strongly interact with the establishment of ectomycorrhizal symbiosis, with the frequent occurrence of a stimulating effect (Bowen and Theodorou, 1979; Garbaye and Bowen, 1987 and 1989; De Oliveira, 1988; De Oliveira et Garbaye, 1989). Some stimulating ("helper") isolates could be of practical interest for improving mycorrhizal inoculation techniques in forest nurseries. Douglas fir is presently the dominant forest tree used for reforestation in France, and field experiments have shown that the ectomycorrhizal fungus Laccaria laccata, when inoculated to planting stocks in the nursery, stimulates the early growth of Douglas fir in plantations (Le Tacon et al., 1988). Moreover, L. laccata sporocarps always contain bacteria, suggesting that this fungus may be particularly dependent on some associated bacteria for completing its life cycle. Therefore, it is worth exploring the possibilities of using helper bacteria in this system. -

Pheromone receptor Consistent with a role of mating type in mediating cytoplasmic-nuclear genomic conflict, Agaricomycetes have evolved away from a haploid yeast phase towards hyphal fusions that display reciprocal nuclear migration after mating rather than cytoplasmic fusion. Importantly, the evolution of this mating behavior is precisely timed with the onset of diversification of mating type alleles at the pheromone/receptor mating type loci that are known to control reciprocal nuclear migration during mating. -

Studies on the Geoglossaceae of Japan. II the Genus Leotia
Jan. 20, 1936.) S. 1MAj-STUDIES ON TILE GEOGLOSSACEAE OF JAPAN. 11. 9 Studies on the Geoglossaceae of Japan. II.'' The Genus Leotia. By Sanshi Imai. Received June 10, 1935. It seems that the name Leotia was first used by II1LL,in 1751. PERSOON3~established the genus Leotia in 1794 with a type species Leotia lubrica which had been formerly described by ScoPoLI under the name Elvela lubrica. In 1801,x' he added eight species, viz., Leotia Mitrula, L. Ludwigii, L. Dicksoni, L. Bulliardi, L. circinans, L. marcida, L. conica and L. Helvella. In 1822,' he divided the genus into two sections, " Carnosae , colore plerumque flavescentes ant rubicundae" and " Cuccul- laria. Tremellosae ant carnoso-gelatinosae, terrestres, colore obscuri, fusces- centes olivaceae ant virescentes. Pileo brevi subpatulo." The former section comprised five species, L, circinans, L. Mitrula, L. truncorum, L. clavus and L, uliginosa, and the latter four species, viz., L. lubrica, L. marcida, L, atrovirens and L. platypoda. In 1823, FRIES6~ described ten species of Leotia and divided the genus into two tribes, Cuccullaria and Hygromitra. The former tribe was mainly characterized by the fleshy or tough texture which was persistent when dry and by the stuffed or hollow stipe. L. circinans and four indefinite or doubtful species were included in this tribe. The latter tribe was characterized as " Substantia tremellosa ant carnoso-gelatinosa, putrescens nec persistens.

An Ectomycorrhizal Thelephoroid Fungus of Malaysian Dipterocarp Seedlings
Journal of Tropical Forest Science 22(4): 355–363 (2010) Lee SS et al. AN ECTOMYCORRHIZAL THELEPHOROID FUNGUS OF MALAYSIAN DIPTEROCARP SEEDLINGS Lee SS*, Thi BK & Patahayah M Forest Research Institute Malaysia, 52109 Kepong, Selangor Darul Ehsan, Malaysia Received April 2010 LEE SS, THI BK & PATAHAYAH M. 2010. An ectomycorrhizal thelephoroid fungus of Malaysian dipterocarp seedlings. The ectomycorrhizal Dipterocarpaceae are among the most well-known trees in the tropics and this is the most important family of timber trees in Malaysia and South-East Asia. Recent studies and molecular data reveal that members of the Thelephoraceae are common ectomycorrhizal fungi associated with the Dipterocarpaceae. The suspected thelephoroid fungus FP160 was isolated from ectomycorrhizal roots of a Shorea parvifolia (Dipterocarpaceae) seedling and kept in the Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM) culture collection. In subsequent inoculation experiments it was able to form morphologically similar ectomycorrhizas with seedlings of two other dipterocarps, namely, Hopea odorata and S. leprosula, and the exotic fast-growing legume, Acacia mangium. A taxonomic identity of this fungus would benefit its possible use in inoculation and planting programmes. This information is also important to expand our limited knowledge of Malaysian mycodiversity. In this paper the morphological characteristics of the ectomycorrhizas formed by FP160 with H. odorata and A. mangium are described and the fungus identified using molecular methods as a member of the family Thelephoraceae, most likely a Tomentella sp. It was not possible to identify the fungus more precisely due to the limited number of sequences available for tropical Thelephoraceae in the public databases.
