Trade-Offs in Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Symbiosis: Disease Resistance, Growth Responses and Perspectives for Crop Breeding (2017, neutral): “These symbiotic interactions are part of the normal ecosystem, and plants co-exist with a wide diversity of AMF species in uncultivated soil [8,9,151].”
Environmental filtering affects soil fungal community composition more than dispersal limitation at regional scales (2014, background): “However, how these filters affect microbial community assembly is largely unclear (Lekberg et al., 2007; Dumbrell et al., 2010a, b; Opik et al., 2010, 2013; Kivlin et al., 2011; Opik et al., 2013).”
Variation in forest soil fungal diversity along a latitudinal gradient (2013, background): “However, it is surprising that such low EMF diversity was observed in the other forest systems investigated in this study, as EMF are considered to be ubiquitous throughout most ecosystems (Opik et al. 2010).”
Changing soil characteristics alter the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi communities of Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica) in Ethiopia across a management intensity gradient (2015, methodology): “Therefore, obtained OTUs were double-checked for chimeric sequences against the MaarjAM database (€Opik et al., 2010) using the ‘uchime_ref’ command.”
The Ecology of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (2013, methodology): “A database constructed from reports of worldwide SSU-rRNA AM fungi sequences by Öpik et al. (2010) indicated limited distribution ranges of most taxa but geographically wide ranges where host taxonomic range is also wide, distribution patterns which may well have arisen from an accretion process.”
Effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on plant growth depend on root system: a meta-analysis (2014, methodology): “For taxonomy of SSU sequences, we used a fasta-format file to blast MaarjAM database (Öpik et al. 2010).”
Fungal community analysis by high-throughput sequencing of amplified markers – a user's guide (2013, methodology): “…by the presence of incorrectly annotated, chimeric, or otherwise substandard entries, and the user is well advised to use the UNITE (ITS; Abarenkov et al., 2010b; Tedersoo et al., 2011), SILVA (SSU; Pruesse et al., 2007) or MaarjAM (SSU; Glomeromycota; €Opik et al., 2010) databases instead.”
Progress in molecular and morphological taxon discovery in Fungi and options for formal classification of environmental sequences (2011, methodology): “…taxonomies are already being developed, including the MAARJam database for “Virtual Taxa” of Glomeromycota, which is based on 18S rRNA genes (€Opik et al., 2010), a multilocus Fusarium database (Park et al., 2010), and a forthcoming incremental MOTU registry in UNITE (Abarenkov et al.,…”
