The Vaccinium L.(Ericaceae) genus consists of a globally widespread and diverse genus of
around 4250 species, of which the most valuable is the Vaccinioidae subfamily. The current …

Abstract Treatment of petroleum-contaminated soil to a less toxic medium via physical and
chemical treatment is too costly and requires posttreatment. This review focuses on the …

The diversity of fungi along environmental gradients has been little explored in contrast to
plants and animals. Consequently, environmental factors influencing the composition of …

The unresolved ecophysiological significance of Dark Septate Endophytes (DSE) may be in
part due to existence of morphologically indistinguishable cryptic species in the most …

Microbial ecology has made large advances over the last decade, mostly because of
improvements in molecular analysis techniques that have enabled the detection and …

Next-generation sequencing technologies with markers covering the full Glomeromycota
phylum were used to uncover phylogenetic community structure of arbuscular mycorrhizal …

Mycorrhizal symbioses (mycorrhizas) of Ericaceae, including ericoid mycorrhiza (ErM), have
been mainly studied in the Northern Hemisphere, although the highest diversity of …

Ericoid mycorrhiza occur only within the plant family Ericaceae, yet are globally widespread
and contribute to carbon and nutrient cycling in many habitats where harsh conditions limit …

Although velvetleaf blueberry (Vaccinium myrtilloides) is usually associated with sandy
(upland) areas of the North American boreal forest, lowland populations can be also found …

Despite the ecological significance of ericoid mycorrhizal fungi, little is known about the
abiotic and biotic factors driving their diversity and community composition. To determine the …
