Mycorrhizal fungi form mutually beneficial interactions with a wide range of terrestrial plants.
During this symbiosis, the associated fungus provides mineral nutrients, such as …

The mycorrhizal symbiosis between soil fungi and plant roots is a ubiquitous mutualism that
plays key roles in plant nutrition, soil health, and carbon cycling. The symbiosis evolved …

In this review, we highlight the main insights that have been gathered from recent
developments using large-scale genomics of fungal saprotrophs and symbiotrophs …

Some soil fungi in the Leotiomycetes form ericoid mycorrhizal (ERM) symbioses with
Ericaceae. In the harsh habitats in which they occur, ERM plant survival relies on nutrient …

Comparative genomics have provided novel insight in the evolution of the mycorrhizal
lifestyle in Glomeromycota and Dikarya. On the basis of the actual genome comparisons …

Terrestrial fungi can adopt different life strategies to exploit nutrient sources. They grow as
saprotrophs on simple or complex organic substrates, or they can establish a nutritional …

To elucidate the genetic bases of mycorrhizal lifestyle evolution, we sequenced new fungal
genomes, including 13 ectomycorrhizal (ECM), orchid (ORM) and ericoid (ERM) species …

Knowledge of fungal biology is still poorly integrated into general ecology theory. Fungal
mycelia play a pivotal role in many ecosystem processes, but a better understanding of the …

Terrestrial fungi can adopt different life strategies to exploit nutrient sources. They grow as
saprotrophs on simple or complex organic substrates, or they can establish a nutritional …

Ectomycorrhizal fungi, living in soil forests, are required microorganisms to sustain tree
growth and productivity. The establishment of mutualistic interaction with roots to form …
