Effect of plant invasions on arbuscular mycorrhiza symbiosis
Cihlářová, Lucie ; Kohout, Petr (advisor) ; Štajerová, Kateřina (referee)
People have been travelling for centuries, together with accompanying animals and plants from their fatherlands. This transfer can be either conscious or accidental. In both cases, the introduced species enter new interactions with local organisms which can lead even to a change of functioning of whole ecosystems. Arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis is one of the most important and widespread symbiotic relationships of vascular plants and soil fungi, known from approximately 80 % terrestrial plant families. The symbiosis han an irreplaceable role for host plants in uptake of mineral nutrients. An introduction of invasive plants to non-native biotopes can have a significant influence on the fragile balance between the symbionts, which can subsequently influence whole ecosystem. This Bachelor's thesis is focused on the arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis, the characteristic of plant invasions and its influence on AM fungi in invaded areas.
