Abstract.
      Laccaria bicolor is an important ectomycorrhizal fungus that has great potential to benefit Minnesota forestry. Two studies were carried out to further our knowledge of this species.
      In one study, Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P. seedlings were grown in containers under three fertilization treatments and three levels of ectomycorrhizal inoculation of either of two species of Laccaria. Seedlings were grown in a glasshouse for 16 weeks before outplanting on two different sites in northern Minnesota. The half-strength fertilizer treatment produced taller seedlings while in the glasshouse. Seedlings inoculated with Laccaria longipes and control seedlings became colonized by L. bicolor indigenous to the planting site, while seedlings inoculated with L. bicolor remained colonized by the original isolate.
     In another study, a method using classical fungal genetics was carried out to determine if Laccaria bicolor associated with five different conifer hosts in a Minnesota forest tree seedling nursery belonged to the same population. Despite significant morphological differences in basidiomes associated with different tree host species, Laccaria bicolor at the General Andrews Nursery was one freely interbreeding population.

ABSTRACT: The influence of crop, current input systems, and past management practices on species and populations of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi was examined during conversion of input systems. Two-year crop rotations alternating corn (Zea mays L.) and soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) were planted in adjacent areas with different management histories. The Koch farm had received no fertilizer or herbicide inputs for the past 25 years while the experiment station had received recommended fertilizer and herbicide inputs during the same period. No input, organic input, minimum input, and conventional input systems were established within each crop sequence. AM spore populations averaged 292 spores (g of soil)$sp{-1}$ on the Koch farm and 175 spores (g of soil)$sp{-1}$ on the experiment station. Average AM colonization percentage was 27.5% on the Koch farm and 24.5% on the experiment station. AM colonization percentages were not correlated with AM spore populations and did not appear to be influenced by input systems. Twelve AM fungal species were present as spores in soil samples, one species was present as intraradical spores, and one species was found in pot cultures inoculated with field soil. G. aggregatum, G. occultum, G. geosporum, and G. microcarpum made up greater than 90% of the AM spore population, were positively correlated with populations of Setaria spp., soil K, and soil pH and negatively correlated with soil P. Input systems affected AM fungal species composition through their effect on weed populations or, where weeds were absent, through their effect on crop plant biomass. Differing management histories resulted in lower P, higher K, higher pH, and higher weed populations on the Koch farm than on the experiment station and accounted for higher AM fungal populations found in this area than on the experiment station. Two inoculum production systems were developed using big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii) as the host plant. An automatically-watered system using silica sand as growth media was modified to produce clean spores and hyphae for monoclonal antibody production. A hand-watered system using low P soil and silica sand as the medium was developed to produce inoculum for field plot use.

ABSTRACT: Terrestrial orchids rely on a mycorrhizal association to grow and develop into adult plants. There are several aspects of this relationship about which little is known. The first area of study concentrated on developing a method of orchid symbiont identification. Results with orchid endophytes showed that exogenously applied polyamines (spermidine and spermine) induced clamp connections (in isolate UAMH 6440) and asexual reproductive structures in these fungi. The second area of study concentrated on environmental factors (light; culture media; polyamine treatments; and fungal cell-wall filtrates) affecting development of the terrestrial orchid Goodyera repens var. ophioides Fernald. Light enhanced germination and root formation, but had no effect on seed mortality, rhizoid or large protocorm formation. Better germination and overall development was observed on a media rich in carbohydrates (Potato Dextrose Agar) compared to Murishage and Skoog's Minimal Organics. Germination occurred between 2 and 4 weeks. Light and media had somewhat additive effects on germination. Light triggered germination, but further development required a carbohydrate source which Murishage and Skoog's Minimal Organics media lacked. Spermidine and spermine inhibited germination and development of G. repens seeds. Light partially reversed the inhibition of germination and development by polyamines. Red and fluorescent light treatments enhanced Goodyera repens seed germination to similar levels. Seed germination of cultures exposed to blue and ultraviolet light treatments were not significantly different from seeds germinated in continuous darkness. Far red light treatments decreased percent seed germination to a level below that of continuous darkness. These results support the idea that light enhanced germination of Goodyera repens seeds may be mediated through phytochrome. Effects of conditioned media and fungal cell-free extracts (fungal elicitors/fungal cell-wall filtrates) on growth and development of G. repens were examined.

The addition of distilled water and Potato Dextrose Broth had similar effects to the control. Conditioned media and cell-free extracts derived from Ceratorhiza goodyera-repentis (UAMH 6440) seemed to suppress germination and further development of G. repens seeds. Both fungal cell-free extracts and conditioned media derived from strain TN29-Pcil-154 promoted germination, but only the cell-free extracts enhanced further development.
