Establishment, persistence and effectiveness of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal inoculants in the field revealed using molecular genetic tracing and measurement of yield components

Pellegrino E; Turrini A; Gamper HA; Cafa G; Bonari E; Young JPW; Giovannetti M (WILEY, 2012)

Inoculation of crop plants by non-native strains of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi as bio-enhancers is promoted without clear evidence for symbiotic effectiveness and fungal persistence. To address such gaps, the forage ...

Taxon-specific PCR primers to detect two inconspicuous arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi from temperate agricultural grassland

Gamper HA; Leuchtmann A (SPRINGER, 2007)

Taxon-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primers enable detection of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF, Glomeromycota) in plant roots where the fungi lack discriminative morphological and biochemical characters. We ...

Green manure addition to soil increases grain zinc concentration in bread wheat

Aghili F; Gamper HA; Eikenberg J; Khoshgoftarmanesh AH; Afyuni M; Schulin R; Jansa J; Frossard E (PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2014)

Zinc (Zn) deficiency is a major problem for many people living on wheat-based diets. Here, we explored whether addition of green manure of red clover and sunflower to a calcareous soil or inoculating a non-indigenous ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi benefit from 7 years of free air CO2 enrichment in well-fertilized grass and legume monocultures

Gamper HA; Peter M; Jansa J; Luscher A; Hartwig UA; Leuchtmann A (BLACKWELL PUBLISHING LTD, 2004)

Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide partial pressure (pCO(2)) and nitrogen (N) deposition are important components of global environmental change. In the Swiss free air carbon dioxide enrichment (FACE) experiment, the effect ...

Comparing arbuscular mycorrhizal communities of individual plants in a grassland biodiversity experiment

van de Voorde TFJ; van der Putten WH; Gamper HA; Hol WHG; Bezemer TM (WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2010)

Plants differ greatly in the soil organisms colonizing their roots. However, how soil organism assemblages of individual plant roots can be influenced by plant community properties remains poorly understood.We determined ...

Forage rotations conserve diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and soil fertility

Pellegrino E; Gamper HA; Ciccolini V; Ercoli L (2020)

In the Mediterranean, long-term impact of typical land uses on soil fertility have not been quantified yet on replicated mixed crop-livestock farms and considering the variability of soil texture. Here, we report the ...
