The goal of the study is to test and adjust optimal cultivation of selected vegetable species in combination with yield increase and improvement of plant nutrition quality (e.g. antioxidat contents, mineral nutrients etc.) using microbial inoculation –

combination of mycorrhizal and saprothropic fungi pre-inoculated on plant biomass.

• Dark Septate Endophytes are jsou ubiquitous plant root endophytes, theirphysiological impact is not well understood yet. DSE fungi connect with their mycelia root systems of different plants and this inetrconnection may influenceplant nutrition uptake and can mediate interactions between the plants.

What impact have selected representatives of DSE on host plants?

Can DSE mediate interactions between ericoid plants and conivers

within the forest ecosystem?

•Interactions of allochthonous plants and mycorrhizal fungi can contribute to an invasive character of those allochtonous mycorrhizal plants depending on 1) diversity of mycorrhizal fungi and 2) different carbon allocation into belowground plant biomass or mycorrhizal structures.

How the invasive specie - Eastern White Pine influence the

autochtonous mycorrhizal communities?
