Synthesis of Pisolithus tinctorius ectomycorrhizae and growth responses on some commercially important Chinese tree species

Seedlings of seven commercially important Chinese tree species were grown with spore and vegetative inoculum of the ectomycorrhizal fungus Pisolithus tinctorius (Pt) in two separate greenhouse container studies. Ectomycorrhizal root development (Pt index 80+) was excellent on four pine species that...

Description
Summary:Seedlings of seven commercially important Chinese tree species were grown with spore and vegetative inoculum of the ectomycorrhizal fungus Pisolithus tinctorius (Pt) in two separate greenhouse container studies. Ectomycorrhizal root development (Pt index 80+) was excellent on four pine species that received vegetative Pt inoculum. Spore pellet inoculum was considerably less effective (Pt index less than five) on these species. Two additional conifer and one hardwood species formed no ectomycorrhizae. Growth responses (seedling height, root-collar diameter, and oven-dry weight) to vegetative inoculum, spore pellet, and uninoculated treatments were measured.
