Microbe management: application of mycorrhyzal fungi in sustainable agriculture (2005, background): “Furthermore, AMF are highly specific in terms of host performance (Helgason et al. 2002; van der Heijden 2002).”
Global diversity and distribution of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (2011, unknown): “Indeed, the biomass and community composition of AM fungi differ with respect to biome, invasive plants, and plant species richness (Hawkes et al., 2006; Helgason et al., 2002; Kivlin and Hawkes, 2011; Öpik et al., 2006; Treseder and Cross, 2006), supporting the idea that spatial variation in plant ”
Native arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities differentially influence the seedling performance of rare and common Pulsatilla species (2004, unknown): “Studies using traditional spore identification and recent molecular identification methodologies show that AMF communities in soil as spores (Merryweather & Fitter 1998; Eom, Hartnett & Wilson 2000) and in roots ( Helgason et al . 1998, 2002; Daniell et al . 2001; Husband et al . 2002; Vandenkoornh”
Neighboring plant influences on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal community composition as assessed by T-RFLP analysis (2005, background): “Although AMF are not generally thought to exhibit host specificity, recent studies have demonstrated that co-occurring plant species can have very different AMF communities and that host–plant preferences exist (Helgason et al., 2002; Johnson et al., 2003; Vandenkoornhuyse et al., 2002, 2003).”
Improved PCR primers for the detection and identification of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. (2008, background): “…of PCR primer design; for example, the effect of different 30- terminal mismatches on primer extension has been investigated in detail (Huang et al., 1992), and such mismatches have been implicated in biased amplification of bacterial sequences from community samples (Hongoh et al., 2003).”
Shrubs influence arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi communities in a semi-arid environment (2011, background): “The use of molecular techniques revealed an unexpectedly high diversity of AMF (Helgason et al., 2002; Redecker, 2002) and strong host specificity (Helgason et al., 2007; Johnson et al., 2003; Vandenkoornhuyse et al., 2002) challenging the traditional view of * Corresponding author.”
Exploring functional definitions of mycorrhizas: Are mycorrhizas always mutualisms? (2004, background): “The range of possible responses, both in terms of P uptake and growth response, is illustrated by the results of Helgason et al. (2002), who inoculated five native AM plants with four of their co-occuring AM fungi.”
The invasive plant species Centaurea maculosa alters arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities in the field (2006, unknown): “Several recent studies indicate that invasive plant species can impact soil microbial community composition and function (e.g., Belnap and Phillips 2001; Kourtev et al. 2002, 2003; Hawkes et al. 2005; Batten et al. 2006).”
Diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in the roots of perennial plants and their effect on plant performance (2004, background): “The two dominant fungi from the forest soil in this study, Glomus sp. MOG2 and MO-G5, are related to an almost identical Glomus sp. isolate UY1225 (= Glo3) and sequence group Glo2, respectively.”
Sequences, the environment and fungi (2006, background): “The diversity of AM fungi recorded molecularly suggests that there is a non-random association with host species in temperate and tropical zones; and that the community structure can change through space and time (Helguson et al. 2002; Daniell et al. 2001; Husband et al. 2002).”
Alien plants associate with widespread generalist arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal taxa: evidence from a continental‐scale study using massively parallel 454 sequencing (2011, background): “As AM fungal taxa exhibit host-specific growth responses (Helgason et al., 2002; Bever, 2003) and invoke differential growth responses in host-plant species (Klironomos, 2003; Moora et al., 2004a,b), there is some potential for new combinations of alien species and resident AM fungi to yield strong…”
Impact of soil warming and shading on colonization and community structure of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in roots of a native grassland community (2004, unknown): “Our results are of particular interest as there is growing awareness of niche separation in AM fungal communities (Bever et al., 2001), and of the possibility of AM host specificity (van der Heijden et al., 1998; Helgason et al., 2002).”
Sanctions, Cooperation, and the Stability of Plant-Rhizosphere Mutualisms (2008, background): “In some instances, host-fungal combinations have specific functional advantages, such as protection against herbivory (Bennett & Bever 2007), increased P-uptake (Helgason et al. 2002), and uptake of different P sources (Reynolds et al. 2006).”
Nitrogen enrichment causes minimal changes in arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization but shifts community composition—evidence from rDNA data (2005, methodology): “AlthoughAM fungal communities have been believed to have no host specificity, recent molecular studies have indicated that different AM fungi are abundant in the roots of some hosts whereas absent in others (Helgason et al. 2002; Husband et al. 2002; Vandenkoornhuyse et al. 2002).”
