Host phylogenetic relatedness is the most widely accepted factor to explain host-fungus
compatibility in ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi. Still, the biogeographic similarity between host …

Host specificity may potentially limit the distribution expansion of ectomycorrhizal (ECM)
fungi into areas where their original host plants are absent. To test this hypothesis, we …

Seedlings of Abies grandis (Dougl.) Lindl.(grand fir), Lithocarpus densiflora (Hook. & Arn.)
Rehd.(tanoak), Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex Laws.(ponderosa pine), Pseudotsuga menziesii …

The role of ectomycorrhizal fungi in modulating host susceptibility to fungal pathogens is
poorly known. Pinus sylvestris susceptibility to two congeneric fungal pathogens was …

Host identity has been recognized as a key determinant of the structure of ectomycorrhizal
(ECM) fungal communities, but the importance of neighboring ECM hosts is less well …

Aim Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal community structures can vary across sites at a regional
scale (> 1,000 km), affected by abiotic and biotic environments, dispersal abilities of the …

Mechanisms of diversification in fungi are relatively poorly known. Many ectomycorrhizal
symbionts show preference for particular host genera or families, so host–symbiont selection …

The identity and relevance of the ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal partners of Eucalyptus
globulus was investigated in NW Spain, to detect which symbionts mainly support its …

Classic ectomycorrhizal symbioses are mutualisms that involve the exchange of fixed
carbon for mineral nutrients between plant roots and fungi. They are unique in the way they …
