The ectomycorrhizal fungus Paxillus ammoniavirescens influences the effects of salinity on loblolly pine in response to potassium availability

Rose, B. D., Dellinger, M. A., Larmour, C. P., Polishook, M. I., Higuita‐Aguirre, M. I., Dutta, S., … Garcia, K. (2024, March 1). Environmental Microbiology, Vol. 26.

By: B. Rose n, M. Dellinger n, C. Larmour n, M. Polishook n, M. Higuita‐Aguirre n, S. Dutta n, R. Cook n , S. Zimmermann *, K. Garcia n 

MeSH headings : Mycorrhizae; Pinus taeda / genetics; Salinity; Potassium; Basidiomycota
topics (OpenAlex): Mycorrhizal Fungi and Plant Interactions; Forest Ecology and Biodiversity Studies; Biocrusts and Microbial Ecology
TL;DR: This study reveals that P. ammoniavirescens can reduce Na+ accumulation of salt-exposed loblolly pine, but this effect depends on external K+ availability, which is strongly dependent on external K+ availability. (via Semantic Scholar)
