Molecular tools have progressively replaced morphological approaches to characterize
microbial communities in nature. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are no exception to this …

A large proportion of the genetic diversity on Earth is represented by fungi. The true
magnitude of fungal diversity has only recently been appreciated thanks to next-generation …

Mycorrhizas are mutualistic interactions that the majority of land plants establish with a
heterogeneous group of soil fungi. Although the pattern of root colonization can be very …

essential.•Quantitative genetics approaches have shown genome-by-genome effects on …

The roots of most plants are colonized by symbiotic fungi to form mycorrhiza, which play a
critical role in the capture of nutrients from the soil and therefore in plant nutrition …

Given recent technological advances, we are in a golden era of cell and whole organism
research. With the availability of so many sequenced genomes, and the data that has been …

Mycorrhizal symbioses—the union of roots and soil fungi—are universal in terrestrial
ecosystems and may have been fundamental to land colonization by plants,. Boreal …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal symbioses occur between fungi and the majority of plant species.
They are important for plant nutrition, plant growth, protection from pathogens, plant …

Molecular analyses of plant–microbe interactions have become common place in the last
two decades. Although there are philosophical considerations about the application of a …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF)(subphylum Glomeromycotina) 1 are among the most
prominent symbionts and form the Arbuscular Mycorrhizal symbiosis (AMS) with over 70% of …
