Objectives/Background. The objective of this work was to evaluate the in vitro antagonistic capacity of a strain of Clonostachys sp. against five species of fungi associated with diseases in economically important crops. Materials and Methods. Five fungal species associated with crop diseases were tested: Alternaria alternata, Colletotrichum kahawa...
Introducción Los suelos del trópico húmedo son en general pobres en elementos nutritivos y frecuentemente ácidos. La capa superficial es muy delgada, a menudo con menos de 20 cm de profundidad, debido a la acción de un relieve muy accidentado y a que las altas temperaturas, combinadas con la humedad, provocan un rápido movimiento horizontal y desco...
Mexico is a center of diversity for the genus Pinus, with 44% of pine species being endemic to the country. Mexican pine forests are recognized as hotspots for ectomycorrhizal fungi and bacteria due to the extensive interactions that take place between microorganisms and plants in their roots. These microorganisms play a vital role in the survival...
The effect of an inoculum composed of Amanita stranella and Suillus decipiens was evaluated on morphological features and total phenolic compounds in seedlings of Pinus pseudostrobus var. coatepecensis – a narrow endemic Mexican variety. The treatments were used: (1) A. stranella; (2) S. decipiens; (3) combined inoculum and (4) control, using a com...

Pinus hartwegii is the only ectomycorrhizal host distributing at 4000 m asl in the Neotropics forming monospecific sky-island forests on the treeline. These ecosystems have unique environmental conditions like high solar radiation, dozens of soil freeze–thaw cycles per year, and high variability in daily temperatures; additionally their soils, as v...
Background: Symbiotic associations of plants with fungi are widely distributed, more than 90 % of terrestrial plants carry out this symbiosis. In Mexico, such associations with basal plant groups have been poorly explored, an example of this being the family Lycopodiaceae of which there are few studies related to this associations in our country.Qu...
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have the potential to reduce the deleterious effect of soil-borne pathogens, but their ability for pathogen biocontrol may vary depending on the genotype of the plant, the pathogen, and the AMF interaction. Thus, the aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of the Mexican biofertilizer Rizofermic-UV based on a...

Las asociaciones simbióticas de plantas con hongos están ampliamente distribuidas, más del 90 % de las plantas terrestres llevan a cabo algún tipo de simbiosis. En México, estas relaciones mutualistas en grupos vegetales basales han sido poco exploradas, ejemplo de esto es la familia Lycopodiaceae de la cual existen pocos trabajos rel...
Excessive inorganic fertilizers applied to pineapple crops in Mexico cause the progressive degradation and pollution of soils in the short- and long-term, and they also increase production costs. An alternative to reduce excessive fertilization is its partial substitution by nutrition and growth enhancing arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). The goa...
La actividad forestal en México se sustenta en el aprovechamiento de diversas especies de pinos; una de las más utilizados es Pinus patula. Los hongos ectomicorrízicos (HECM) incrementan la supervivencia de las plántulas, por lo que su uso asegura el éxito de las plantaciones; además, la reforestación con taxa nativos de pino aumenta la diversidad...

Acaulospora foveata, a glomeromycete fungus with pitted ornamentation on the outer spore surface, was originally isolated from a sugar cane field close to the city Orizaba, Veracruz, Mexico, in 1982. At that time, the concepts of morphological spore descriptions were less evolved, and only two wall layers are mentioned in the protologue, an outer p...
Abstract The arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal diversity
in Mexico has not been intensively studied.
Although some studies have reported the presence of
29 % of the reported species in the world, the
knowledge regarding their functional diversity is poor.

Long-term successional dynamics of an inoculum of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) associated with the maize rhizosphere (from traditionally managed agroecosystems in Los Tuxtlas, Veracruz, Mexico), was followed in Bracchiaria comata trap cultures for almost eight years. The results indicate that AMF diversity is lost following long-term subcultu...
The effect of inoculating African violet (Saintpaulia ionantha Wendl.) with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi in a commercial nursery under the producer's farming system was determined. Two forms of the inoculum, fresh roots (TI) and inoculant encapsulated in calcium alginate beads (EI), were tested. The treatments consisted of plants inoculated wi...
Some mycorrhizal fungal species could have certain compatibility and efficiency in the development of the host.
