Among other benefits, arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi may increase plant tolerance to
root diseases. The research on the underlying mechanisms requires growth conditions that …

Symbiotic ectomycorrhizal fungi enhance plant nutrient uptake and growth, especially in
nutrient-poor conditions. The changes in plant metabolism due to mycorrhizal colonization …

Truffle cultivation has drawn more and more attention for its high economic and ecological
values in the world. To select symbionts suitable for cultivation purposes, we conducted …

Host identity is among the most important factors in structuring ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal
communities. Both host–fungal coevolution and host shifts can account for the observed host …

For more than 50 years, research into the biology and ecology of mycorrhizal fungi and their
host plants has been attracting an ever-increasing number of scientists. As a result, the …

Mycorrhizal fungi provide direct and functional interconnection of soil environment with their
host plant roots. Colonization of non-host plants have occasionally been described, but its …

The association between ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi and trees is at the heart of forest
ecosystems. Nowadays, this association is increasingly facing pressures resulting from …

Increasing nitrogen (N) deposition often tends to negatively impact the functions of
belowground ectomycorrhizal networks, although the exact molecular mechanisms …

The basidiomycete Hebeloma cylindrosporum has been extensively studied with respect to
mycorrhiza differentiation and metabolism and also to population dynamics. Its life cycle can …

In order to increase survival rates of greenhouse seedlings destined for restoration and
conservation programs, successful mycorrhization of the seedlings is necessary. To reforest …
