“…The ECM fungal species which infected the roots were identified by visibly examining the fine root characteristics as described by Chu-Chou and Grace (1983). The ECM hyphal length density in the soils was measured using a simplified agar film technique described by Nicholas and Parkinson (1967) and detailed by Liu et al (2006).…”

A pot trial was carried out for 10 months to investigate the effects of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal infection and phosphorus (P) fertilization on the growth of newly germinated Pinus radiata D. Don seedling, P uptake by the seedlings and rhizosphere properties. The experiment consisted of two phosphate rock (PR)-P application rates [0 and 100 mg P kg −1 soil supplied as Ben Guire PR (BGPR)] and 5 soil treatments (autoclaved soil, fungicide-treated soil, untreated natural soil, and Rhizopogon rubescens Tul. and Suillus luteus (L. ex. Fr.) S. F. Gray inoculated soils). The results showed that the treatment effects were more striking in P-fertilized treatments. In P-fertilized soils, all the non-autoclaved treatments significantly increased seedling growth and P concentration and P uptake in plant tissues compared with the autoclaved treatment. The ECM inoculation produced greater phosphatase activities, higher oxalate concentration, and more plant-available P (soil solution P and resin extractable P) in the rhizosphere soils than in the bulk soils in P-fertilized soil. Compared with S. luteus, R. rubescens inoculation resulted in greater ECM tip density in seedling roots in P-fertilized treatments, indicating that R. rubescens are more susceptible to infection of radiata seedling roots. Approximately 57-69% of the BGPR added to the soil had been dissolved in 10 months after application and BGPR significantly increased seedling height, ECM root tip density, and P concentration in shoots in both autoclaved and non-autoclaved treatments.

“…One of the mycorrhizae often researched ecologically (e.g., Danielson et al, 1985;Garbaye, 1986;Marx and Davey, 1969) and physiologically (e.g., Chu-Chou, 1985;Reid, 1971;Tyminska et al, 1986) but not anatomically is that of Thelephora terrestris. Only a few studies have been concerned with anatomical details (Hacskaylo, 1965;Fassi and Fontana, 1966;Chu-Chou and Grace, 1983a, b;Godbout and Fortin, 1985).…”

The morphology and anatomy of ectomycorrhizas of Rhizopogon arctostaphyli, R. ellenae, R. flavofibrillosus, R. occidentalis, R. rubescens, R. smithii, R. subcaerulescens and R. truncatus synthesized on Ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) in glasshouse conditions using spore slurries, are described and compared. All species produced a well‐developed Hartig net, and a well‐developed fungal mantle. The mantles of R. arctostaphyli, R. smithii and R. subcaerulescens ectomycorrhizas were two‐layered with outer mantle hyphae of wider diameter than inner mantle hyphae. The mantle of R. subcaerulescens ectomycorrhizas also had distinctive peg‐like structures (cystidia) along peripheral hyphae. Rhizopogon truncatus ectomycorrhizas were tuberculate in morphology and had a rind‐like mantle enclosing adjacent roots. In addition, several species exhibited crystal inclusions in the outer mantle, presumably at the interface between mantle and soil.
