International
Mycorrhiza Society
Recently developed site provides an international directory
of mycorrhizologists, searchable
abstracts and citations databases, news, calendar of events
and membership information.
Micorrhizal
Symbioses
This primer, from the University of Florida,
covers; types of mycorrhizae, soil nutrients and carbon
fluxes, interactions with other organisms, management and
references. Also included is a downloadable slide show.
Mycorrhiza
Information Exchange
UK-based site provides global clearinghouse for mycorrhizal
information. Organized links and information related to
education, research and business applications of mycorrhizal
symbiosis. Could be improved.
Practical
Guide to Mycorrhiza
Good general introduction, this site discusses types of
mycorrhizae, their role in seed germination and other higher-plant
processes, plants that form mycorrhizae and benefits. Includes
downloads and links and a Japanese language version.
Working
with Mycorrhizas
Much of this site is based on text and images from the introductory
chapter of the book Working with Mycorrhizas in Forestry
and Agriculture, published by ACIAR in Australia. Features
include root structures and growth, VAM, ECM, mycorrhizal
associations of Australian plants,
ectomycorrhizal fungi and roots of Eucalyptus in Australia
and other countries. Some diagrams and illustrations are
available for download.
The
Ecology and Physiology of Mycorrhizal Symbioses
This site from Lund University covers research on both
the ectomycorrhizal and the arbuscular mycorrhizal symbioses
with particular focus on the fungal partner of the symbiosis.
Projects include the role of ectomycorrhizal fungi in
mobilizing nutrients, influence of mycorrhizal fungi in
stabilising soils, carbon allocation
strategies and transcript profiling. Site includes a virtual
excursion.
