• Ectomycorrhizal fungal communities can be structured by abiotic and biotic factors. Here,
we present evidence for community structuring by species interactions.• We sampled …

Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) can form symbiotic relationships with plants, aiding in plant
growth by providing access to nutrients and defense against phytopathogenic fungi. In this …

Understanding the factors underlying the distribution of biodiversity is a challenging issue in
ecology. Here, we examined the distribution patterns of ectomycorrhizal fungal diversity …

Ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungal communities are taxonomically diverse, and independent
manipulation of both intra-and interspecific diversity has previously been shown to positively …

The field of ectomycorrhizal fungal (EMF) ecology has largely developed outside the
ecological mainstream, owing in large part to the challenges in studying the structure and …

Ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi play vital roles in ensuring host plants' health, plant diversity, and
the functionality of the ecosystem. However, EM fungal diversity, community composition …

Understanding how genomes encode complex cellular and organismal behaviors has
become the outstanding challenge of modern genetics. Unlike classical screening methods …

We have assessed ectomycorrhizal fungi colonizing Norway spruce (Picea abies L.)
seedlings in nine forest nurseries using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) …

Cenococcum geophilum is an ecologically important mycorrhizal fungus with a global
distribution and a wide host range. It has been difficult to study since it forms only sterile …

In an attempt to advance the understanding of ectomycorrhizal symbiosis, which improves
mineral nutrition and resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses of most woody plants from …
