Since the earliest report by Frank (1885), in which he documented the benefit of
ectomycorrhizal fungi for their plant hosts, ecologists have been intrigued by the functional …

Pisolithus are ectomycorrhizal fungi that associate with roots of numerous plant species in
natural and plantation forests worldwide. Despite the fact that Pisolithus spp. are present in …

The random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique was used to develop DNA
probes for the identification of ectomycorrhizal fungi belonging to the genus Tuber. RAPD …

Fungi in the Rhizoscyphus ericae aggregate have been recovered from the roots of co‐
occurring ericaceous shrubs and ectomycorrhizal trees. However, to date, there is no …

Diverse fungal assemblages colonize the fine feeder roots of woody plants, including
mycorrhizal fungi, fungal root endophytes and soil saprotrophs. The fungi co-inhabiting …

Serpentine soils are characterized by a disproportionate level of Mg in relation to Ca and
often contain phytotoxic levels of available Ni. Both of these factors may represent stresses …

Polymorphic simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were used to investigate the genetic
structure in a Cenococcum geophilum population associated with Salix reinii in an early …

Tricholoma scalpturatum is an ectomycorrhizal fungus that forms symbioses with roots of
diverse trees and shrubs. It is commonly encountered in a wide range of habitats, across …

The occurrence and frequency of outcrossing in homothallic fungal species in nature is an
unresolved question. Here we report detection of frequent outcrossing in the homothallic …

Vegetative compatibility and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) genotyping of
in vitro multispores clonal lineages, issued from the same ancestor culture of the arbuscular …
