  • Ectomycorrhizal Fungal Communities at Forest Edges 93, 244–255 IAN A
    Journal of Blackwell Publishing, Ltd. Ecology 2005 Ectomycorrhizal fungal communities at forest edges 93, 244–255 IAN A. DICKIE and PETER B. REICH Department of Forest Resources, University of Minnesota, St Paul, MN, USA Summary 1 Ectomycorrhizal fungi are spatially associated with established ectomycorrhizal vegetation, but the influence of distance from established vegetation on the presence, abundance, diversity and community composition of fungi is not well understood. 2 We examined mycorrhizal communities in two abandoned agricultural fields in Minnesota, USA, using Quercus macrocarpa seedlings as an in situ bioassay for ecto- mycorrhizal fungi from 0 to 20 m distance from the forest edge. 3 There were marked effects of distance on all aspects of fungal communities. The abundance of mycorrhiza was uniformly high near trees, declined rapidly around 15 m from the base of trees and was uniformly low at 20 m. All seedlings between 0 and 8 m distance from forest edges were ectomycorrhizal, but many seedlings at 16–20 m were uninfected in one of the two years of the study. Species richness of fungi also declined with distance from trees. 4 Different species of fungi were found at different distances from the edge. ‘Rare’ species (found only once or twice) dominated the community at 0 m, Russula spp. were dominants from 4 to 12 m, and Astraeus sp. and a Pezizalean fungus were abundant at 12 m to 20 m. Cenococcum geophilum, the most dominant species found, was abundant both near trees and distant from trees, with lowest relative abundance at intermediate distances. 5 Our data suggest that seedlings germinating at some distance from established ecto- mycorrhizal vegetation (15.5 m in the present study) have low levels of infection, at least in the first year of growth.

  • Unraveling Arbuscular Mycorrhiza-Induced Changes in Plant Primary and Secondary Metabolome
    H OH metabolites OH Review Unraveling Arbuscular Mycorrhiza-Induced Changes in Plant Primary and Secondary Metabolome Sukhmanpreet Kaur and Vidya Suseela * Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences, Clemson University, Clemson, SC 29634, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 18 June 2020; Accepted: 12 August 2020; Published: 18 August 2020 Abstract: Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) is among the most ubiquitous plant mutualists that enhance plant growth and yield by facilitating the uptake of phosphorus and water. The countless interactions that occur in the rhizosphere between plants and its AMF symbionts are mediated through the plant and fungal metabolites that ensure partner recognition, colonization, and establishment of the symbiotic association. The colonization and establishment of AMF reprogram the metabolic pathways of plants, resulting in changes in the primary and secondary metabolites, which is the focus of this review. During initial colonization, plant–AMF interaction is facilitated through the regulation of signaling and carotenoid pathways. After the establishment, the AMF symbiotic association influences the primary metabolism of the plant, thus facilitating the sharing of photosynthates with the AMF. The carbon supply to AMF leads to the transport of a significant amount of sugars to the roots, and also alters the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Apart from the nutrient exchange, the AMF imparts abiotic stress tolerance in host plants by increasing the abundance of several primary metabolites. Although AMF initially suppresses the defense response of the host, it later primes the host for better defense against biotic and abiotic stresses by reprogramming the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites. Additionally, the influence of AMF on signaling pathways translates to enhanced phytochemical content through the upregulation of the phenylpropanoid pathway, which improves the quality of the plant products.

Pausas Alicante, Diciembre de 2012. Acknowledgments Numerous people were involved and contributed in many ways to the completion of this thesis. Firstly I would like to thank to Juli, my scientific advisor. He is sincerely thanked for his good advices, the encouragement and help in this thesis. This thesis was definitively a starting point where first steps towards the realisation of my future career were taken. As I have written elsewhere, “I was supervised by an outstanding researcher which inculcated me independent thinking and encouraged to openly question his opinions and suggestions with scientific arguments (…) Although, under the careful supervision of my supervisor, I was expected to lead my research, define the project goals, methodologies and main milestones to achieve.” I am really glad and proud that all of this is true. Susana has been of utmost importance for my Ph.D. She has been my role model since from the beginning; a model for friendship, dedication, scientific rigour, suffering capacity and perseverance. I know I always could count on her and that I will always can. I would also like to thank the people at CEAM and CIDE for their company and support, especially to my office mates and all the students and research assistants that passed by and which help was invaluable. Particularly to the ones who had to work with me for endless hours in the field and/or laboratory.

From the historical perspective, Abstract: Mosse (1970) was the first to describe intracellular Endofungal bacteria are bacterial symbionts of fungi structures very similar to bacteria, called Bacteria- that exist within fungal hyphae and spores. There is Like Organisms (BLOs) inside fungal hyphae increasing evidence that these bacteria, alone or in (Figure 2). Since then, BLOs and bacteria were combination with their fungal hosts play a critical detected in glomeromycotan arbuscular mycorrhiza role in tripartite symbioses with plants, where they may contribute to plant growth and disease resistance to microbial pathogens.
