  • Taxomony and mycorrhizal ecology of the desert truffles in the genus Terfezia

    Creator:
    Alsheikh, Abdulmagid M.
    Abstract:
    Mycorrhizal fungi in arid and semiarid rangelands have received little study in southwest Asia and north Africa, although they are important in food production and rangeland productivity. The desert truffles of the genera Terfezia and Tirmania form fruiting-bodies and mycorrhizae with rangeland plants. This thesis treats the taxonomy and the...

  • Mediation of conifer root growth by mycorrhizal fungi and plant growth regulators

    Creator:
    Scagel, Carolyn F.
    Abstract:
    Many mycorrhizosphere microorganisms can produce plant growth regulating compounds in vitro. Plant growth regulating compounds are known to mediate root growth and development. In reforestation practices, conifer tree seedling growth and survival are linked to rapid root growth and development after outplanting. Multifactorial experiments were conducted to document variations in...

  • Drivers of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal community composition in roots : hosts, neighbors, and environment

    Creator:
    Phillips, Wendy S.
    Abstract:
    The vast majority of terrestrial plant species live in symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). AMF and plants live in complex networks, with roots of individual plants hosting multiple AMF, and single AMF colonizing multiple plants concurrently. Through the exchange of resources, the two partners of this symbiosis can have...
