There is high potential for the formation of common mycorrhizal networks between understorey and canopy trees in a mixed evergreen forest (2003, neutral): “Similarly high spatial heterogeneity has been observed in other studies and appears to be a general pattern of ECM assemblages (Dahlberg 2001; Horton & Bruns 2001 ).”
ITS as an environmental DNA barcode for fungi: an in silico approach reveals potential PCR biases (2010, background): “Background Molecular identification through DNA barcoding of fungi has, during the last 15-20 years, become an integrated and essential part of fungal ecology research and has provided new insights into the diversity and ecology of many different groups of fungi (reviewed by [1-4]).”
Fungal Community Ecology: A Hybrid Beast with a Molecular Master (2008, methodology): “The fact that assemblages are so dynamic is not necessarily due to a short life span, as individual fungi often live for years (Horton and Bruns 2001), and some, such as the pathogen Armillaria, may even live for centuries (Smith et al. 1992).”
Networks of power and influence: the role of mycorrhizal mycelium in controlling plant communities and agroecosystem functioning (2004, methodology): “The application of DNA-based identification methods for mycorrhizal mycelium in soil has lagged far behind the use of this technology for the characterization of mycorrhizal communities on ectomycorrhizal root tips (Horton and Bruns 2001; Tedersoo et al. 2003) or in roots of AM plant communities (Hu”
Ecological and functional roles of mycorrhizas in semi-arid ecosystems of Southeast Spain (2011, methodology): “…and/or molecular techniques usually used in mycorrhiza research (Dahlberg et al., 1997; El Karkouri et al., 2005; Gamper et al., 2010; Hempel et al., 2007; Horton and Bruns, 2001; Morton, 2009; Oehl et al., 2009; Öpik et al., 2008; Perotto et al., 2002; Pickles et al., 2009; Sanon et al., 2009).”
New primers to amplify the fungal ITS2 region--evaluation by 454-sequencing of artificial and natural communities. (2012, background): “During the last 20 years, analysis of microbial communities based on amplification and sequencing of genetic markers has revolutionized fungal ecology (Horton & Bruns, 2001; Hibbett et al., 2009).”
Back to Roots: The Role of Ectomycorrhizal Fungi in Boreal and Temperate Forest Restoration (2020, background): “Additionally, the advance in molecular tools is an advantage in EMF research that aims to link EMF community composition to their role in ecosystem functioning (Horton and Bruns, 2001; Koide et al., 2014; Bonfante, 2018).”
Waiting for fungi: the ectomycorrhizal invasion of lowland heathlands (2009, result): “These studies established the successional dynamics of ‘early’ through to ‘late’ stage fungi forming ectomycorrhizas with Betula .H owever, these studies were conducted on agricultural soil and relied mainly on fungal fruiting body surveys which can poorly represent a site’s ectomycorrhizal diversit”
Mycorrhizal networks: Mechanisms, ecology and modelling (2012, positive): “These techniques have shed light on the potential for MNs to form among forest trees (Horton et al., 1999) and between overstory and understory plants (Ogura-Tsujita et al., 2009; Bougoure et al., 2010).”
Species richness, abundance, and composition of hypogeous and epigeous ectomycorrhizal fungal sporocarps in young, rotation-age, and old-growth stands of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) in the Cascade Range of Oregon, U.S.A. (2002, background): “Sporocarp studies of EM fungal commu nities typically underrepresent belowground EM fungal diversity (Gardes and Bruns 1996; Dahlberg et al. 1997; Kårén et al. 1997; Gehring et al. 1998; Jonsson et al. 1999; Horton and Bruns 2001) but are essential for dis cerning rare species that form obvious spor”
Natural Abundance of 15N in Nitrogen-Limited Forests and Tundra Can Estimate Nitrogen Cycling Through Mycorrhizal Fungi: A Review (2008, background): “These include the molecular identification of mycorrhizal fungi in mycorrhizae (Horton and Bruns 2001) and in the soil (Rosling and others 2003; Landeweert and others 2005) and the rapid assessment of the enzymatic capabilities of individual mycorrhizae isolated from soil (Pritsch and others 2004;…”
Invasion biology of Australian ectomycorrhizal fungi introduced with eucalypt plantations into the Iberian Peninsula (2005, background): “We collected ectomycorrhizal roots, because many ectomycorrhizal species do not fruit, and fruiting patterns do not truly reflect the belowground community of ECM fungi (Gardes and Bruns 1996; Horton and Bruns 2001).”
Intraspecific ITS Variability in the Kingdom Fungi as Expressed in the International Sequence Databases and Its Implications for Molecular Species Identification (2008, background): “The most popular locus for DNA-based mycological studies at the subgeneric level, and hence for species identifi cation, is the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the nuclear ribosomal repeat unit (Horton and Bruns, 2001; Bridge et al. 2005).”
Response of ectomycorrhizal fungus sporocarp production to varying levels and patterns of green-tree retention (2004, background): “This can be based on mycorrhiza morphotypes and on DNA analysis of mycorrhizae (Agerer et al., 1996; Eberhart et al., 1996; Eberhart and Luoma, 1996, 1997; Gardes and Bruns, 1996; Horton and Bruns, 2001) Molecular approaches are presently costly, but are becoming less so as the technology develops.”
