The bioactive secondary metabolites of some plants are capable of stimulating the growth of ectomycorrhizal fungi. Combined with plants, these fungi provide the same conditions to grow in environments contaminated by heavy metals. We evaluated the effect of adding essential oil of Eucalyptus grandis in the growth of ectomycorrhizal isolates in the presence of copper, zinc and nickel. The ectomycorrhizal Pisolit...
The establishment of exotic forest species in Brazil may show dependence to ectomycorrhizal association, which increases the resistance of seedlings to stress after the initial planting in the field, favoring the maintenance of harshseedlings under adverse conditions. The study aimed to evaluate the effect of applying the eucalyptus essential oil in ectomycorrhizal colonization on growth of Eucalyptus gran...
