Community structure of ectomycorrhizal fungi in a Pinus muricata forest: above- and below-ground views
Monique Gardes,Thomas D. Bruns +1 more
TLDR
By using molecular methods based on polymerase chain reaction, this work was able to identify the fungal symbionts directly from mycorrhizae in nearly all of the myCorrhizal morphotypes the authors found.Abstract:
We examined the species diversity of an ectomycorrhizal community in natural stands of bishop pine (Pinus muricata D. Don) to determine the correspondence between above- and below-ground views of s...read more

Mycorrhizas and nutrient cycling in ecosystems – a journey towards relevance?
David Read,Jesús Pérez-Moreno +1 more
TL;DR: The results support the hypothesis that selection has favoured ericoid and ectomycorrhizal systems with well developed saprotrophic capabilities in those ecosystems characterized by retention of N and P as organic complexes in the soil.

Coevolution of roots and mycorrhizas of land plants
TL;DR: It is hypothesised that roots gradually evolved from rhizomes to provide more suitable habitats for mycorrhizal fungi and provide plants with complex branching and leaves with water and nutrients.

Fungal Community Analysis by Large-Scale Sequencing of Environmental Samples
TL;DR: The high rate at which new sequence types were recovered even after sampling 863 fungal ITS sequences and the dominance of fungi in the authors' libraries relative to other eukaryotes suggest that the abundance and diversity of fungiIn forest soils may be much higher than previously hypothesized.

The molecular revolution in ectomycorrhizal ecology: peeking into the black-box.
Thomas R. Horton,Thomas D. Bruns +1 more
TL;DR: Results from these studies have revealed that EM communities are impressively diverse and are patchily distributed at a fine scale below ground, but there is a poor correspondence between fungi that appear dominant as sporocarps vs. those that seem dominant on roots.

Ectomycorrhizal lifestyle in fungi: global diversity, distribution, and evolution of phylogenetic lineages
TL;DR: In conclusion, EcM fungi are phylogenetically highly diverse, and molecular surveys particularly in tropical and south temperate habitats are likely to supplement to the present figures.

ITS primers with enhanced specificity for basidiomycetes--application to the identification of mycorrhizae and rusts.
M. Gardes,Thomas D. Bruns +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, two taxon-selective primers for the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region in the nuclear ribosomal repeat unit were proposed, which were intended to be specific to fungi and basidiomycetes, respectively.

Specific synthesis of DNA in vitro via a polymerase-catalyzed chain reaction.

TL;DR: A method whereby a nucleic acid sequence can be exponentially amplified in vitro is described in the chapter, and the possibility of utilizing a heat-stable DNA polymerase is explored so as to avoid the need for addition of new enzyme after each cycle of thermal denaturation.
