Thanks for visiting the Database of Chestnut Mycorrhizae! This is a database intended for the identification of ectomycorrhizal root tips. These data were generated for the fulfillment of a master's thesis here at the University of Wisconsin - La Crosse.
If you need some background information on Mycorrhizae, you can go here to see a general overview that I wrote.

Here you can do a BLAST search of our database to identify ectomycorrhizal fungi. The database contains partial ITS sequences generated with the primer pairs ITS1-F (Gardes and Bruns) and ITS4 (White, et.al.). All sequences are orderd 5' to 3' starting with ITS1-F. You can also Search through the database for descriptions and pictures.
Check back often because this site will be updated as soon as new sequences are generated.
