Genome sequencing data revealed unexpected similarities among plant-interacting fungi
belonging to different ecological guilds. In particular, the sequenced genomes of ericoid …

Plants harbor in their external surfaces and internal tissues a highly diverse and finely
structured microbial assembly, the microbiota. Each plant compartment usually represents a …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are plant root symbionts that play key roles in plant
growth and soil fertility. They are obligate biotrophic fungi that form coenocytic …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are arguably the most successful endosymbionts of
plants, forming an integral part of the life of most land plants under natural conditions …

Summary Endogonales (Mucoromycotina), composed of Endogonaceae and
Densosporaceae, is the only known non‐Dikarya order with ectomycorrhizal members. They …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are ubiquitous mutualistic symbionts of most terrestrial
plants and many complete their lifecycles underground. Whole genome analysis of AM fungi …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi form endosymbioses with most plants, and they
themselves are hosts for Mollicutes/Mycoplasma‐related endobacteria (MRE). Despite their …

For more than 450 million years, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have formed intimate,
mutualistic symbioses with the vast majority of land plants and are major drivers in almost all …

Metagenomics studies have recently offered new approaches that shed light on microbial
communities in a variety ofenvironments. In this context, DNA pyrosequencing is being used …

Although heterokaryons have been reported in nature, multicellular organisms are generally
assumed genetically homogeneous. Here, we investigate the case of arbuscular mycorrhizal …
