Microbial Root Endophytes
Author: Barbara J.E. Schulz
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3540335269
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 380
Book Description
This is the first book dedicated to the interactions of non-mycorrhizal microbial endophytes with plant roots. The phenotypes of these interactions can be extremely plastic, depending on environmental factors, nutritional status, genetic disposition and developmental stages of the two partners. This book explores diversity, life history strategies, interactions, applications in agriculture and forestry, methods for isolation, cultivation, and both conventional and molecular methods for identification and detection of these endophytes.

Working with Mycorrhizas in Forestry and Agriculture
Author: Mark Brundrett
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Agriculture
Languages : en
Pages : 396
Book Description
Mycorrhizas are highly evoloved mutualistic associations between the soil fungi and plant roots. The partners in the association are members of the fungus kingdom and most vascular plants. This manual explains procedures used by scientists who work with mycorrhizal fungi and roots in the laboratory, nursery, or natural and managed ecosystems. Many of the techniques use readily obtainable and relatively inexpensive equipment and chemicals.

Book Description
Mutualisms are ubiquitous in nature, yet these interactions often vary in strength and persistence. This variation raises the questions of what determines whether mutualisms persist or vanish, and how does variation in the strength of mutualisms affect populations, communities, and ecosystems. I addressed these questions by evaluating mycorrhizal associations, symbiotic interactions between plants and root-colonizing fungi, in co-occurring alpine plant species along an environmental gradient. First, I examined the distribution, diversity, and composition of mycorrhizal fungi across the willow-meadow ecotone at treeline on Pennsylvania Mountain (Park County, CO, USA). Results highlight the context-dependent nature of mutualisms and indicate that both biotic and abiotic factors determine the strength of these associations. Next, I identified environmental factors that contribute to variation in mycorrhizal associations across the willow-meadow ecotone. Field and greenhouse studies indicate that biotic and abiotic factors alter partner benefits, thereby generating variation in these mutualisms. Finally, I evaluated implications of variation in mycorrhizal associations for plant populations and communities. Results of two studies demonstrate the potential for mycorrhizae to impact plant invasions, aboveground interaction webs, and the evolution of plant traits. Overall, this research advances our understanding of mutualism, highlighting the inherent complexity of these interactions and their importance to ecological and evolutionary processes.

The Rhizosphere
Author: Zoe G. Cardon
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0080493041
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 235
Book Description
Below the soil surface, the rhizosphere is the dynamic interface among plant roots, soil microbes and fauna, and the soil itself, where biological as well as physico-chemical properties differ radically from those of bulk soil. The Rhizosphere is the first ecologically-focused book that explicitly establishes the links from extraordinarily small-scale processes in the rhizosphere to larger-scale belowground patterns and processes. This book includes chapters that emphasize the effects of rhizosphere biology on long-term soil development, agro-ecosystem management and responses of ecosystems to global change. Overall, the volume seeks to spur development of cross-scale links for understanding belowground function in varied natural and managed ecosystems. - First cross-scale ecologically-focused integration of information at the frontier of root, microbial, and soil faunal biology - Establishes the links from extraordinarily small-scale processes in the rhizosphere to larger-scale belowground patterns and processes - Includes valuable information on ecosystem response to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide and enhanced global nitrogen deposition - Chapters written by a variety of experts, including soil scientists, microbial and soil faunal ecologists, and plant biologists
