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 …

Associations between arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and plants are an ancient and
widespread plant microbe symbioses. Most land plants can associate with this specialized …

Mycorrhizal fungi are a heterogeneous group of diverse fungal taxa, associated with the
roots of over 90% of all plant species. Recently, state-of-the-art molecular and genetic tools …

Symbiotic interactions between plants and mycorrhizal fungi have a major impact on plant
growth, development and evolution. Among them, the ectomycorrhizal (ECM) symbiosis …

The ectomycorrhizal symbiosis involving trees and soil fungi is a process of major ecological
importance in forest ecosystems. The establishment of an effective symbiosis encompasses …

The arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis is arguably the most ecologically important eukaryotic
symbiosis, yet it is poorly understood at the molecular level. To provide novel insights into …

Within the rhizosphere, which hosts a large and diverse community of prokaryotic and
eukaryotic microbes that compete and interact with each other and with plant roots …

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

The symbiotic interaction of plants with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi is ancient and
widespread. Plants provide AM fungi with carbon in exchange for nutrients and water …

Research on mycorrhizal symbiosis has been slowed by a lack of established study
systems. To address this challenge, we have been developing Suillus, a widespread …
