Ectomycorrhizae (ECMs) are a highly context‐dependent interactions that are not always
beneficial for the plant host, sometimes leading to a decrease in plant growth. However, the …

It is believed that resource exchange, which is responsible for intensified growth of
ectomycorrhizal plants, occurs in the fungus–plant interface. However, increasing evidence …

During ectomycorrhizal symbioses, up to 30% of the carbon produced in leaves may be
translocated to the fungal partner. Given that the leaf response to root colonization is largely …

Within boreal and temperate forest ecosystems, the majority of trees and shrubs form
beneficial relationships with mutualistic ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi that support plant …

Interactions between trees such as Populus and their associated soil microbiome
significantly impact the net plant productivity (NPP), carbon biosequestration and carbon …

Poplar is a short‐rotation woody crop frequently studied for its significance as a sustainable
bioenergy source. The successful establishment of a poplar plantation partially depends on …

Trees are able to colonize, establish and survive in a wide range of soils through
associations with ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi. Proper functioning of EcM fungi implies the …

The colonisation of tree roots by ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi is the result of numerous
signalling exchanges between organisms, many of which occur before physical contact …

The pathways regulated in ectomycorrhizal (EcM) plant hosts during the establishment of
symbiosis are not as well understood when compared to the functional stages of this …

Soil functioning is intrinsically related to the structure of associated biological communities.
This link is barely understood in the multispecies context of soil microbial communities …
