Mutualistic root endophytism is not associated with the reduction of saprotrophic traits and
requires a noncompromised plant inn Page 1 Mutualistic root endophytism is not associated …

Fungi of the recently defined order Sebacinales (Basidiomycota) are involved in a wide
spectrum of mutualistic symbioses (including mycorrhizae) with various plants, thereby …

Root endophytism and mycorrhizal associations are complex derived traits in fungi that
shape plant physiology. Sebacinales (Agaricomycetes, Basidiomycota) display highly …

The mechanisms underpinning broad compatibility in root symbiosis are largely unexplored.
The generalist root endophyte Piriformospora indica establishes long-lasting interactions …

In nature, beneficial and pathogenic fungi often simultaneously colonise plants. Despite
substantial efforts to understand the composition of natural plant− microbe communities, the …

Fungi that colonize internally plant tissues without causing disease are known as
endophytes. Root endophytes represent different orders belonging mainly to the phyla …

Pathogenic and mutualistic microbes actively suppress plant defense by secreting effector
proteins to manipulate the host responses for their own benefit. Current knowledge about …

Inconspicuous basidiomycetes from the order Sebacinales are known to be involved in a
puzzling variety of mutualistic plant-fungal symbioses (mycorrhizae), which presumably …

Sebacinales are basal Hymenomycetes with diverse mycorrhizal abilities, ranging from
ectomycorrhizae to ericoid and orchid mycorrhizae. Several previous PCR or isolation works …

Piriformospora indica is a fungus of the order Sebacinales (Basidiomycota) infesting roots of
mono-and dicotyledonous plants. Endophytic fungal colonization leads to enhanced plant …
