Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi are key players in forest carbon (C) sequestration, receiving a
substantial proportion of photosynthetic C from their forest tree hosts in exchange for plant …

Within boreal and temperate forest ecosystems, the majority of trees and shrubs form
beneficial relationships with mutualistic ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi that support plant …

Multiple ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) compete to colonise the roots of a host plant, but it is
not known whether their success is under plant or fungal control, or a combination of both …

The amounts of carbon allocated to the fungal partner in ectomycorrhizal associations can
vary substantially depending on the plant growth and the soil nutrient conditions, and the …

Introduction In contrast to the dynamics observed in plant/pathogen interactions, endophytic
fungi have the capacity to establish enduring associations within their hosts, leading to the …

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 …

Metabolites in soil play an important role in regulating plant-microbe interactions and,
thereby, plant performance. Biotic factors such as root exudation and microbial activity or …

Intensive exchange of nutrients is a crucial part of the complex interaction between a host
plant and fungi within arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis. For the first time, the present …

Mycorrhizas are widespread below‐ground symbioses formed between plant roots and soil
fungi. This plant–fungal partnership impacts terrestrial ecosystems by mediating plant …

Metabolomic profiling is becoming an increasingly important technique in the larger field of
systems biology by allowing the simultaneous measurement of thousands of small …
