Epiparasitic plants specialized on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungiMartin I Bidartondo
Department of Plant and Microbial Biology, University of California, Berkeley, California 94720 3102, USA
Nature 419:389-92. 2002..Here we show that non-photosynthetic plants associate with AMF and can display the characteristic specificity of epiparasites. This suggests that AMF mediate significant inter-plant carbon transfer in nature...- Fungal fidelity in the myco-heterotroph-to-autotroph life cycle of Lycopodiaceae: a case of parental nurture?Jonathan R Leake
Department of Animal and Plant Sciences, University of Sheffield, Alfred Denny Building, Western Bank, Sheffield S10 2TN, UK
New Phytol 177:572-6. 2008 - Health benefits of 'grow your own' food in urban areas: implications for contaminated land risk assessment and risk management?Jonathan R Leake
Department of Animal and Plant Sciences, University of Sheffield, UK
Environ Health 8:S6. 2009..This highlights a more general need for a new generation of risk assessment tools that also predict overall consequences for health to more effectively guide risk management in our increasingly risk-averse culture... - Myco-heterotroph/epiparasitic plant interactions with ectomycorrhizal and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungiJonathan R Leake
University of Sheffield, Department of Animal and Plant Sciences, Alfred Denny Building, Western Bank, Sheffield S10 2TN, UK
Curr Opin Plant Biol 7:422-8. 2004..Myco-heterotrophs have distinctive stable isotope signatures, which can be used to establish the dependence upon fungal carbon of green plants that are partially myco-heterotrophic... - Bryophyte physiological responses to, and recovery from, long-term nitrogen deposition and phosphorus fertilisation in acidic grasslandMaria Arroniz-Crespo
University of Sheffield, Department of Animal and Plant Sciences, Western Bank, Sheffield, S10 2TN, UK
New Phytol 180:864-74. 2008..Physiological measurements are more sensitive than measurements of abundance as bioindicators of N deposition impact and of recovery in particular... - Mycorrhizal acquisition of inorganic phosphorus by the green-leaved terrestrial orchid Goodyera repensDuncan D Cameron
Department of Animal and Plant Sciences, University of Sheffield, Alfred Denny Building, Western Bank, Sheffield S10 2TN, UK
Ann Bot 99:831-4. 2007..In this paper the role of the fungus in the capture and transfer of inorganic phosphorus (P) to the orchid is unequivocally demonstrated for the first time... - Evaluating the effects of terrestrial ecosystems, climate and carbon dioxide on weathering over geological time: a global-scale process-based approachLyla L Taylor
Department of Animal and Plant Sciences, University of Sheffield, Sheffield S10 2TN, UK
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci 367:565-82. 2012..Overall, we demonstrate a more realistic process-based treatment of plant fungal-geosphere interactions at the global scale, which constitutes a first step towards developing 'next-generation' geochemical models... - Giving and receiving: measuring the carbon cost of mycorrhizas in the green orchid, Goodyera repensDuncan D Cameron
Department of Animal and Plant Sciences, University of Sheffield, Alfred Denny Building, Western Bank, Sheffield, S10 2TN, UK
New Phytol 180:176-84. 2008..The rapidity of bidirectional C flux is indicative of dynamic transfer at an interfacial apoplast as opposed to reliance on digestion of fungal pelotons... - Mutualistic mycorrhiza in orchids: evidence from plant-fungus carbon and nitrogen transfers in the green-leaved terrestrial orchid Goodyera repensDuncan D Cameron
Department of Animal and Plant Sciences, University of Sheffield, Alfred Denny Building, Western Bank, Sheffield S10 2TN, UK
New Phytol 171:405-16. 2006..This study demonstrates, for the first time, mutualism in orchid mycorrhiza, bidirectional transfer of C between a green orchid and its fungal symbiont, and a fungus-dependent pathway for organic N acquisition by an orchid... - Base cation depletion, eutrophication and acidification of species-rich grasslands in response to long-term simulated nitrogen depositionPaul Horswill
Department of Animal and Plant Sciences, University of Sheffield, Sheffield S10 2TN, UK
Environ Pollut 155:336-49. 2008..This study provides the first definitive evidence that nitrogen deposition depletes base cations from grassland soils. The resulting acidification, metal mobilisation and eutrophication are implicated in driving floristic changes... - Are soils in urban ecosystems compacted? A citywide analysisJill L Edmondson
Department of Animal and Plant Sciences, University of Sheffield, Sheffield S10 2TN, UK
Biol Lett 7:771-4. 2011..These results establish that, across a typical UK city, urban soils were in better physical condition than agricultural soils and can contribute to ecosystem service provision... - Mutualistic mycorrhiza-like symbiosis in the most ancient group of land plantsClaire P Humphreys
Department of Animal and Plant Sciences, University of Sheffield, Sheffield S10 2TN, UK
Nat Commun 1:103. 2010..Our analyses provide essential missing functional evidence supporting AMF symbionts as drivers of plant terrestrialization in early Palaeozoic land ecosystems... - Development, persistence and regeneration of foraging ectomycorrhizal mycelial systems in soil microcosmsDamian P Donnelly
Department of Animal and Plant Sciences, University of Sheffield, S10 2TN, Sheffield, UK
Mycorrhiza 14:37-45. 2004..Results are discussed in terms of the ecology of these fungi, their foraging activities and functional importance in forest ecosystems... - Soil invertebrates disrupt carbon flow through fungal networksDavid Johnson
School of Biological Sciences, University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen AB24 3UU, UK
Science 309:1047. 2005..Our findings emphasize the importance of multitrophic interactions in regulating respiration of recent plant photosynthate from soil...
