Soils contain a multitude of fungi with vastly divergent lifestyles ranging from saprotrophic to
mutualistic and pathogenic. The recent release of many fungal genomes has led to …

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 first genomic sequence for a representative of symbiotic fungi, the ectomycorrhizal
basidiomycete Laccaria bicolor, has been published. The unravelling of this genome …

The ectomycorrhizal (ECM) symbiosis is increasingly seen as a crucial component for
nutrient cycling in sustainable forest ecosystems. To date, the complete genome sequence …

Mycorrhizal fungi are mutualists that play crucial roles in nutrient acquisition in terrestrial
ecosystems. Mycorrhizal symbioses arose repeatedly across multiple lineages of …

Saprophytic, ectomycorrhizal (ECM) and pathogenic fungi play a key role in carbon and
nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems. Whereas more than 50 genomes of saprotrophic and …

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 …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi associate with the vast majority of land plants, providing
mutual nutritional benefits and protecting hosts against biotic and abiotic stresses …

Ectomycorrhizal fungi play a key role in forests by establishing mutualistic symbioses with
woody plants. Genome analyses have identified conserved symbiosis‐related traits among …

During the diversification of Fungi and the rise of conifer-dominated and angiosperm-
dominated forests, mutualistic symbioses developed between certain trees and …
