Shared ectomycorrhizal fungi between a herbaceous perennial (Helianthemum bicknellii) and oak (Quercus) seedlings

IA Dickie, RC Guza, SE Krazewski, PB Reich - New Phytologist, 2004 - Wiley Online Library

AM Koch, PM Antunes, H Maherali, MM Hart… - New …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Although arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are obligate symbionts that can influence plant
growth, the magnitude and direction of these effects are highly variable within fungal genera …

Biology and evolution of arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis in the light of genomics

L Kamel, M Keller‐Pearson, C Roux, JM Ané - New Phytologist, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi associate with the vast majority of land plants, providing

Lack of host specificity leads to independent assortment of dipterocarps and ectomycorrhizal fungi across a soil fertility gradient

KG Peay, SE Russo, KL McGuire, Z Lim… - Ecology …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Plants interact with a diversity of microorganisms, and there is often concordance in their
community structures. Because most community‐level studies are observational, it is unclear …

What determines Alnus‐associated ectomycorrhizal community diversity and specificity? A comparison of host and habitat effects at a regional scale

M Roy, J Rochet, S Manzi, P Jargeat, H Gryta… - New …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Global‐scale analyses of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi communities emphasize host plant

Competitive avoidance not edaphic specialization drives vertical niche partitioning among sister species of ectomycorrhizal fungi

AB Mujic, DM Durall, JW Spatafora… - New …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Soil depth partitioning is thought to promote the diversity of ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungal

Processes maintaining the coexistence of ectomycorrhizal fungi at a fine spatial scale

LM Bogar, KG Peay - Biogeography of mycorrhizal symbiosis, 2017 - Springer
Ectomycorrhizal fungi defy classification by scale. As hyphae, they experience heterogeneity
in the soil on a micron scale, while individuals can span meters. In this chapter, we seek to …
