Morphological characters and nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA) phylogenies have so far been
the basis of the current classifications of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. Improved …

The arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMFs) are obligate root symbionts in the subphylum
Glomeromycotina that can benefit land plants by increasing their soil nutrient uptake in …

The root systems of most plant species are aided by the soil-foraging capacities of symbiotic
arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi of the Glomeromycotina subphylum. Despite recent …

Nuclei of arbuscular endomycorrhizal fungi have been described as highly diverse due to
their asexual nature and absence of a single cell stage with only one nucleus. This has …

There is no consensus barcoding region for determination of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal
(AMF) taxa. To overcome this obstacle, we have developed an approach to sequence an …

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

Mycorrhizae are one of the most fundamental symbioses between plants and fungi, with
ectomycorrhizae being the most widespread in boreal forest ecosystems. Ectomycorrhizal …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis is the most widespread mutualistic association. It
concerns 80% of land plants and involves fungi belonging to the phylum Glomeromycota …

Although the molecular phylogeny, evolution and biodiversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal
fungi (AMF) are becoming clearer, phylotaxonomically reliable sequence data are still …
