Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal community differentiation along a post-coal mining reclamation chronosequence in South Africa: a potential indicator of ecosystem recovery
(Elsevier, 2020)Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi contribute to the restoration of soil ecological functions and processes during ecosystem development. Here, diversity and differentiation of AM fungi in rhizosphere soils and roots of the ... -
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi for the biocontrol of plant-parasitic nematodes: a review of the mechanisms involved
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2015)Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are obligate root symbionts that can protect their host plant against biotic stress factors such as plant-parasitic nematode (PPN) infection. PPN consist of a wide range of species with ... -
Assessment of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal spore density and viability in soil stockpiles of South African opencast coal mines
(Taylor & Francis, 2019)The symbioses between arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and plant roots is essential for nutrient uptake and growth of most vascular plants. Soil condition and management influence the density and viability of arbuscular ... -
Biofertilizers and sustainable agriculture: exploring arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
(SpringerSpringer, 2017)Worldwide agricultural food production has to double in 2050 so as to feed the global increasing population while reducing dependency on conventional chemical fertilizers plus pesticides. To accomplish this objective, there ...
