Characterization and spatial distribution of ectomycorrhizas colonizing aspen clones released in an experimental field
Ectomycorrhizas (EM) from aspen clones released on an experimental field were characterized by morphoty**, restriction analysis and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequencing. In addition, their community ...

Axenic Culture of Symbiotic Fungus Piriformospora indica
A large number of media compositions are available in the literature for the cultivation of various groups of fungi, but almost no literature is available for axenic cultivation of symbiotic fungi. In this cha...

Interactions of Microbes with Genetically Modified Plants
The introduction of molecular biological methods into plant breeding has offered the possibility to construct genetically modified plants (GMPs) with new qualities. Major goals of genetic engineering are the i...

Interaction of Piriformospora indica with Diverse Microorganisms and Plants
An axenically cultivable Mycorrhiza-like-fungus has been described by Varma and his collaborators. The fungus was named Piriformospora indica based on its characteristic pear-shaped chlamydospores (Verma et al. 1...

Combining nested PCR and restriction digest of the internal transcribed spacer region to characterize arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on roots from the field
Identification of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) on roots is almost impossible with morphological methods and, due to the presence of contaminating fungi, it is also difficult with molecular biological tec...

Physiologische und molekularbiologische Ansätze zur Analyse der Funktion von Indol-3-buttersäure in der Entwicklung arbuskulärer Mykorrhizen
Inoculation of maize with the AM fungus Glomus intraradices resulted in a distinct root phenotype with a significant increase in the percentage of lateral roots during early stages of colonization. Auxins are kno...

Mycorrhizal colonization of transgenic aspen in a field trial
Mycorrhizal colonization of genetically modified hybrid aspen (Populus tremula × P. tremuloides Michx.) was investigated over 15 months in a field experiment. The aspen carried the rolC gene from Agrobacterium r...
