Detecting the colonization of ericoid mycorrhizal fungi in Vaccinium uliginosum using in situ polymerase chain reaction and green fluorescent protein

Abstract Background Ericoid mycorrhizal fungi (EMF) play important roles in mineral cycling and plant nutrient acquisition, and they increase plant survival in nutrient-poor environments. In this study, we detected the colonization of EMF using a green fluorescent protein (GFP) expression method and...
