Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi are crucial for tree nitrogen (N) nutrition; however, mechanisms
governing N transfer from fungal tissues to the host plant are not well understood. ECM …

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 …

Ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi form symbiotic associations with plant roots that regulate nutrient
exchange between forest plants and soil. Environmental metagenomics approaches that …

The association between ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi and trees is at the heart of forest
ecosystems. Nowadays, this association is increasingly facing pressures resulting from …

Boreal and temperate forest ecosystems rely on ectomycorrhizal (ECM) symbiosis for tree
nutrition, productivity, and stress resilience. The ECM lifestyle appears several times during …

Mycorrhizal fungi are known for their functional importance in plant growth and nutrition, and
because these symbiotic fungi represent a fundamental linkage between plants and soils …

Coevolution describes evolutionary change in which two or more interacting species
reciprocally drive each other's evolution, potentially resulting in trait diversification and …

The development of ectomycorrhizal symbiosis leads to drastic changes in gene expression
in both partners. However, little is known about the spatial regulation of symbiosis-regulated …

Extracellular enzymes degrade macromolecules into soluble substrates and are important
for nutrient cycling in soils, where microorganisms, such as ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi are closely related to vegetation compositions, edaphic
properties, and site-specific processes. However, the coevolutionary mechanisms …
