Cenococcum geophilum is an ectomycorrhizal fungus with global distribution in numerous
habitats and associates with a large range of host species including gymnosperm and …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) symbioses are major components of boreal and temperate forest
ecosystems (Smith and Read, 2008; Clemmensen et al., 2013). Although well studied for …

Fungi are major players in the carbon cycle in forest ecosystems due to the wide range of
interactions they have with plants either through soil degradation processes by litter …

The ectomycorrhizal basidiomycete Laccaria bicolor has a dual lifestyle with a transitory soil
saprotrophic phase and a longer mutualistic interaction with tree roots. Recent evidence …

Mutualistic and pathogenic plant-colonizing fungi use effector molecules to manipulate the
host cell metabolism to allow plant tissue invasion. Some small secreted proteins (SSPs) …

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

To establish and maintain a symbiotic relationship, the ectomycorrhizal fungus Laccaria
bicolor releases mycorrhiza‐induced small secreted proteins (MiSSPs) into host roots. Here …

While there has been significant progress characterizing the 'symbiotic toolkit'of
ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi, how host specificity may be encoded into ECM fungal …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), belonging to the fungal phylum Glomeromycota, form
mutualistic symbioses with roots of almost 80% of land plants. The release of genomic data …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi form the most wide‐spread endosymbiosis with plants. There is
very little host specificity in this interaction, however host preferences as well as varying …
