Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi form mutualisms with plant roots that increase plant
growth and shape plant communities. Each AM fungal cell contains a large amount of …

Abstract Arbuscular Mycorrhizal fungi (AMF, Glomeromycota) form obligate symbiotic
associations with the roots of most terrestrial plants. Our understanding of the molecular …

Transposable elements (TEs) are repetitive DNA that can create genome structure and
regulation variability. The genome of Rhizophagus irregularis, a widely studied arbuscular …

Unavailability of the genome sequences of several species of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM)
fungi limits the opportunities for optimizing these biofertilizer species for agricultural benefits …

Background Accumulating evidence demonstrates that non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are
indispensable components of many organisms and play important roles in cellular events …

Recently, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as vital regulators of many
biological processes in animals and plants. However, to our knowledge no investigations on …

A 2861 bp nucleotide sequence containing Tricholoma matsutake SSU rRNA gene and its
flanking regions was determined and analyzed. Comparison with known SSU rDNA …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are important symbionts of plants. Recently, studies of
the AMF Rhizophagus irregularis recorded within-isolate genetic variation that does not …

Background Regions within the nuclear ribosomal operon are a major tool for inferring
evolutionary relationships and investigating diversity in fungi. In spite of the prevalent use of …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are obligate root symbionts that play a crucial role in
terrestrial ecosystems by aiding land plants in nutrient and water absorption in exchange for …
