Can root-feeders alter the composition of AMF communities? Experimental evidenc...
Rodríguez-Echeverría, Susana; de la Peña, Eduardo; Moens, Maurice; Freitas, Helena; van der Putten, Wim H.Root herbivores and plant mutualists, such as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), have a significant effect on the structure and dynamic of plant communities. Nevertheless, the interactions between the two groups of organisms in natural ecosystems are far from understood. We carried out an inoculation experiment to examine the effect of two root herbivores, Pratylenchus penetrans and P. dunensis (Nematoda), on ...
Bursaphelenchus xylophilus : opportunities in comparative genomics and molecula...
JONES, JOHN; MOENS, MAURICE; MOTA, Manuel; LI, HONGMEI; KIKUCHI, TAISEIMost Bursaphelenchus species are fungal feeding nematodes that colonize dead or dying trees. However, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus , the pine wood nematode, is also a pathogen of trees and is the causal agent of pine wilt disease. B. xylophilus is native to North America and here it causes little damage to trees. Where it is introduced to new regions it causes huge damage. The most severely affected areas are fou...
Mechanism of control of root-feeding nematodes by mycorrhizal fungi in the dune...
Peña, Eduardo de la; Echeverría, Susana Rodríguez; Putten, Wim H. van der; Freitas, Helena; Moens, MauriceRoot-feeding herbivores can affect plant performance and the composition of natural plant communities, but there is little information about the mechanisms that control root herbivores in natural systems. This study explores the interactions between the pioneer dune grass Ammophila arenaria, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and the root-feeding nematode Pratylenchus penetrans. Our objectives were to determine...
