nitrogen transfer between mycorrhizal plants

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that common mycorrhizal networks (CMNs) enhance nitrogen transfer among adult plants, thus providing a potential mechanism contributing to the long-term persistence of plant facilitative associations.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of fertilization and shading from two leguminous species, Erythrina poeppigiana and Chloroleucon eurycyclum, on coffee grown at a Costa Rican research site were compared.

TL;DR: In this article, a comparative screening of 23 Eps wheat cultivars was conducted in field by means of photosynthetic gas exchange measurement, followed by isotopic measurements (Δ 13 C, δ 15 N, Δ 18 O) in the leaf matter, and morphological and anatomical measurement (SLA, IVD, SD).

TL;DR: Cutting of the hairy vetch might enhance growth of oat due to the transfer of N from hairy Vetch and the reduction of light interception to the oat canopy, which would be valuable for low-input crop production.

TL;DR: The effects of mycorrhizal fungi on interspecific plant interactions and N transfer from legume to grass were studied in two legume-grass forage mixtures grown under three P fertilization regimes.

TL;DR: The results provide the first experimental confirmation that growth of Corallorhiza trifida can be sustained by supply of C received directly from an autotrophic partner through linked fungal mycelia.

TL;DR: Ratios of 5N to "N" were measured in soil total N, ammonium, and nitrate, and in foliage of Douglas-fir 1Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco! and red alder (Alnus rubra Bong) at four sites as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The phylogenetic analyses confirm the existence of three families within arbuscular fungi on the basis of morphological characters and obtain approximate dates for the divergence of major branche's on the phylogenetic tree, consistent with the hypothesis that VAM were instrumental in the colonization of land by ancient plants.
