Estimations of genome size and its variation can provide valuable information regarding the
genetic diversity of organisms and their adaptation potential to heterogeneous …

Recent studies have found that three divergent lineages of the ectomycorrhizal fungus
Cenococcum geophilum may co-occur within a single soil sample. To test how inference of …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi associated with plants constitute one of the most successful
symbiotic interactions in forest ecosystems. ECM support trophic exchanges with host plants …

Cenococcum geophilum is perhaps the most widely distributed and most recognized
ectomycorrhizal fungus with a host range of more than 200 tree species from 40 genera of …

The most frequently encountered symbiont on tree roots is the ascomycete Cenococcum
geophilum, the only mycorrhizal species within the largest fungal class Dothideomycetes, a …

Cenococcum geophilum is a widely distributed mycorrhizal species associated with diverse
gymnosperm and angiosperm hosts. In previous studies, a significant amount of genetic and …

Population genetic analyses of the mycorrhizal fungus Cenococcum geophilum were
conducted to test for a clonal or recombining population structure. Multilocus genotypes …

Ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi are major microbial components of boreal, temperate and
Mediterranean forests, as well as some tropical forest ecosystems. Nearly two decades of …

Mate recognition mechanisms resulting in assortative mating constitute an effective
reproductive barrier that may promote sexual isolation and speciation. While such …

Using spatial autocorrelation analysis, we examined the within-population genetic structure
of Rhizopogon vinicolor and R. vesiculosus, two hypogeous ectomycorrhizal (EM) species …
