Mycorrhizal fungi colonizing leaves. I saw this presentation in a abstract at a conference and I can't find the research. Did anyone find something like that?
Hi Jadson! do you refer to EM or to AM fungi? there are many published studies of both cases, se e.g.:
Bunn, R. A., Simpson, D. T., Bullington, L. S., Lekberg, Y., & Janos, D. P. (2019). Revisiting the ‘direct mineral cycling’hypothesis: arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi colonize leaf litter, but why?. The ISME journal, 13(8), 1891-1898.
Jacobs, L. M., Sulman, B. N., Brzostek, E. R., Feighery, J. J., & Phillips, R. P. (2018). Interactions among decaying leaf litter, root litter and soil organic matter vary with mycorrhizal type. journal of ecology, 106(2), 502-513.
Keller, A. B., & Phillips, R. P. (2019). Leaf litter decay rates differ between mycorrhizal groups in temperate, but not tropical, forests. New Phytologist, 222(1), 556-564.
I hope it helps!

Great. Thank you very much professor Francisco Kuhar . Your suggestions will help me a lot.
Dear Dr. de Moura;
Hi, does this process have economic benefits or is it just a matter of scientific study?
Yours sincerely,
Saeed
Saeed Mirzavash Azar, in a speech at the meeting of mycorrhizal fungi in south america, a researcher presented data on the leaves of colonized creeping plants. the hypothesis is that there would be shrubs on the leaves as a new place of communication between fungi and plants. but economically I don't think there is much relevance yet.
Micorizal fungi exist only from root exudate as (food)nd can not live on leaves. Only for a day or two.
