  1. 1. Drought resistance of Ectomycorrhizal fungi in the Suillus genus

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology

    Author : Patricia Salén; [2024]
    Keywords : Ectomycorrhiza; drought; Suillus;

    Abstract : Rising instances of drought are causing more tree seedling fatalities post-nursery outplanting. In the face of climate change, fostering resilient forestry practices is imperative for preserving the health and functionality of our forests. READ MORE

  3. 2. Tritrophic interactions with Silphium integrifolium at the axis : elucidating the role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal species on plant phenotype

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Protection Biology

    Author : Philipp Hansen; [2023]
    Keywords : Arbuscular mycorrhiza; mycorrhizal responsiveness; induced plant volatiles; Silphium integrifolium Silflower ; perennial grains; new crops; ecological intensification;

    Abstract : A fundamental understanding of the intricate interactions between crops and their environment may help guide the development of ecologically intensified agriculture. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are root symbionts that can increase a plant’s access to soil resources and have been found to reprogram plant defensive mechanisms, potentially influencing the performance of plant antagonists.

  4. 3. Endophytic fungi in living trees - are communities affected more by tree species, tree age, or geographic origin?

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Lisen Källman; [2022-08-16]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Endophytic fungi are ubiquitous in living vascular plants and have been identified in most terrestrial environments. The endophytes may have various ecological roles such as commensals, symbionts and latent invaders. READ MORE

  5. 4. The metagenomes of root nodules in actinorhizal plants : A bioinformatic study of endophytic bacterial communities

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Ellen Fasth; [2021]
    Keywords : Actinorhizal plants; Frankia; endosymbiosis; root nodules; metagenomes; bioinformatics;

    Abstract : Actinorhizal plants are in symbiosis with the nitrogen-fixating soil bacterium Frankia, which forms nodules in the plant root. However, several studies also report other endophytic bacteria appearing in the nodules, but their function and interaction with the host plant or Frankia is not yet understood. READ MORE

  6. 5. Effects of organic matter depletion on fungal communities in a reconstructed boreal forest podzol system

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology

    Author : Katharine Alice King; [2020]
    Keywords : ectomycorrhizal fungi; fungal community structure; fungal diversity; high throughput sequencing; podzol; soil horizons;

    Abstract : The boreal forest biome serves as a valuable resource, both as a source of wood, pulp and biofuel, and as a sink of atmospheric carbon (C). A large proportion of C is sequestered to the soil of the boreal biome, however belowground processes are still poorly understood. READ MORE
