Mycorrhizal symbioses—the union of roots and soil fungi—are universal in terrestrial
ecosystems and may have been fundamental to land colonization by plants,. Boreal …

Mycorrhizal fungi are mutualists that play crucial roles in nutrient acquisition in terrestrial
ecosystems. Mycorrhizal symbioses arose repeatedly across multiple lineages of …

The first genomic sequence for a representative of symbiotic fungi, the ectomycorrhizal
basidiomycete Laccaria bicolor, has been published. The unravelling of this genome …

The ectomycorrhizal (ECM) symbiosis is increasingly seen as a crucial component for
nutrient cycling in sustainable forest ecosystems. To date, the complete genome sequence …

To elucidate the genetic bases of mycorrhizal lifestyle evolution, we sequenced new fungal
genomes, including 13 ectomycorrhizal (ECM), orchid (ORM) and ericoid (ERM) species …

The functioning and stability of terrestrial ecosystems are determined by plant biodiversity
and species composition,,,,. However, the ecological mechanisms by which plant …

The Périgord black truffle (Tuber melanosporum Vittad.) and the Piedmont white truffle
dominate today's truffle market,. The hypogeous fruiting body of T. melanosporum is a …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis (AMS), a widespread mutualistic association of land
plants and fungi 1, is predicted to have arisen once, early in the evolution of land plants 2–4 …

Plants are the foundation of terrestrial ecosystems, and their colonization of land was
probably facilitated by mutualistic associations with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Following …

The ectomycorrhizal symbiosis involving trees and soil fungi is a process of major ecological
importance in forest ecosystems. The establishment of an effective symbiosis encompasses …
