Ectomycorrhizal associations are of major ecological importance in temperate and boreal
forests. The development of a functional ectomycorrhiza requires many genetic and …

Fungal communities play a key role in ecosystem functioning. However, only little is known
about their composition in plant roots and the soil of biomass plantations. The goal of this …

The health, growth, and fitness of boreal forest trees are impacted and improved by their
associated microbiomes. Microbial gene expression and functional activity can be assayed …

Summary Bacteria, ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi, and land plants have been coevolving for
nearly 200 million years, and their interactions presumably contribute to the function of …

Despite covering vast areas of boreal North America, the ecological factors structuring
mycorrhizal fungal communities in peatland forests are relatively poorly understood. To …

To improve their nutrition, most plants associate with soil microorganisms, particularly fungi,
to form mycorrhizae. A few lineages, including actinorhizal plants and legumes are also able …

The ectomycorrhizal (ECM) symbiosis is increasingly seen as a crucial component for
nutrient cycling in sustainable forest ecosystems. To date, the complete genome sequence …

Plant–mycorrhizal fungal interactions are ubiquitous in forest ecosystems. While
ectomycorrhizal plants and their fungi generally dominate temperate forests, arbuscular …

A diverse range of fungi associate with ectomycorrhizal (EcM) root tips, however, their
identity and the biotic and abiotic filters structuring these communities remain unknown. We …

Functional compartmentation of the extramatrical mycelium of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi
is considered important for the operation of ECM associations, although the molecular basis …
