Rhizobiom pro zvýšení resilience polních plodin ke změně klimatu
Řezáč, Vlastislav
The bachelor thesis focuses on the importance of the plant root system and associated symbiotic microorganisms. The aim was to describe these relationships, present their advantages in agriculture and methods of their adoption. In the practical part, the root system was evaluated using WinRHIZO software. The material used was the grown root systems of Trifolium sp. plants at the age of 18 days. The basic parameters associated with the root system characteristics, i.e. total length, total surface, average diameter, total volume, number of tips, number of branches were determined. The number of formed nodules was also determined. As a secondary result, the macrophenological phase of the initiation of nodule for-mation was determined between BBCH 10 and BBCH 11.

Vliv rostlin s různou ekonomickou strategií na půdní procesy
ŠKOPOVÁ, Kateřina
This bachelor thesis addresses plant-soil interactions through plant litter and living roots, compares the effects of plants with a competitive and conservative resource management strategy on soil and ecosystem functioning. The literature review is followed by a proposal for a scientific project aimed at increasing knowledge of the rhizosphere processes of competitive and conservative species and testing the validity of the hypothesis that competitive species affect their environment more intensively than conservative species.

Effect of soil C:N:P stoichiometry on plant-microbe-soil interactions
CÁRDENAS HERNÁNDEZ, Julián Fernando
The effect of C:N:P stoichiometry on plant-microbe-soil interactions was studied using glasshouse experiments to maintain constant environmental conditions and manipulate plant and soil characteristics. Plants with different economic strategies were studied on soils with different C:N:P stoichiometry due to C enrichment. This allowed for various plant-soil interactions, which were used to study the strongest links between plants, microbes, and soil. Subsequently, the role of C addition in the plant-exudates-microbe-soil interactions was evaluated, including the correlation of foliar isotopic C and N composition with plant biomass and soil N availability. Finally, plant- soil communication was altered by fertilizing plant leaves without changing soil conditions. In this way, we were able to determine the role of plant C:N stoichiometry in the priming effect of the rhizosphere and detritusphere.

Fungi associated with tree roots
Charvátová, Markéta ; Baldrian, Petr (advisor) ; Gryndler, Milan (referee)
In contrast to the bulk soil environment, plant roots represent a habitat with higher nutrient availability due to the supply of photosynthesis-derived C-containing compounds. The roots thus support the life of various microorganisms that use such compounds, but the root-associated microbes in the same time may face a limitation in N and P availability. Unlike bacteria, many filamentous fungi are able to transport these compounds from soil and their mycelia thus typically extend into this environment. Ectomycorrhizal fungi are a typical example of this nutrition strategy. Tree roots produce exudates, that differ in thein composition for each species and they can also differ among individuals. It causes a high diversity of root-associated fungi. Soil is also inhabited by parasitic and saprotrophic fungi. Composition and activity of microbial communisies in the rhizosphere differ from the bulk soil. This work points at the differences of the rhizosphere and builk soil, the importance mycorrhizal fungi and it presents an overview of fungal species that have been found on the roots of spruce - Picea abies. Key words: fungi, mycorrhiza, soil, rhizosphere, Picea abies

Interactions of macrofungi and trace elements in soils
Cejpková, Jaroslava
This PhD thesis follows my master's thesis, which I focused on the problem of uranium determination and content in macrofungal fruit-bodies (the results have been published, Appendix 1). Macrofungi apparently do not accumulate uranium in fruit-bodies but as other studies suggested major roles of fungi in environmental geochemistry of uranium, I hypothesized possible accumulation of uranium and other elements in ectomycorrhizae. I therefore decided to continue the research and focus on investigation of trace elements in ectomycorrhizae. As I had opportunity to use a variety of analytical methods, I also participated in other studies in the field geomycology and the results are included in this thesis. In response to alarmist reports in Czech media, I focused on activity and distribution of radiocaesium in fruit-bodies of Boletus badius. As demonstrated in Appendix 2, the fruit- bodies of this species do not represent a health risk for mushroom consumers. Distribution of mycelium of saprotrophic Agaricus bernardii in a soil profile in Prague was investigated by use of molecular methods (PCR with specific primers). The results have shown that the mycelium reaches the depth of 30 cm. Lead isotopic composition of fruit- bodies suggests lead can be accumulated from soil depth of 13-17 cm (Appendix 3)....

Change of structure and function of a fungal comunnities in the soil environment after the end of the flowassimilates with Norway spruce (Picea abies)
Charvátová, Markéta ; Baldrian, Petr (advisor) ; Mrnka, Libor (referee)
The decomposition of plant biomass is associated with changes of the associated fungal community which is crucial in the process of degradation due to their production of extracellular enzymes. Moreover, fungal communities as well as enzymatic activity are specific for soil microhabitats. This thesis focused on the importance of fungi associated with the roots of Norway spruce (Picea abies) trees. Forest with dominating Norway spruce, located in the School Forest Enterprise Křtiny area in Moravia, was selected for the experiment. The aim of this thesis was to compare the community composition of fungi in the roots, rhizosphere and bulk soil and to describe the gradual development of this community after the death of the roots. The next aim was to isolate, describe and characterize those fungi that decomposed roots 5 and 9 months after tree harvest. Identification of fungal isolates was based on DNA sequencing. Degradation capabilities were determined as the activity of enzymes involved in the degradation of lignocellulose. Composition of fungal communities was described by sequencing of environmental DNA on the Illumina platform. Before the flow of assimilates from the live trees stopped, communities of ectomycorrhizal fungi dominated with 60 % of all sequences. Increased abundance of saprotrophic...
