Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi form mutualistic relationships with most land plant
species. AM fungi have long been considered as ancient asexuals. Long-term clonal …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are obligate mutualists that can enhance nutrition and
growth of their plant hosts while providing protection against pathogens. AMF produce …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have accompanied the majority of land plants since their
evolution in the Devonian period with a symbiotic alliance centered on nutrient exchanges …

The root systems of most plant species are aided by the soil-foraging capacities of symbiotic
arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi of the Glomeromycotina subphylum. Despite recent …

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is an important mechanism in the evolution of many living
organisms particularly in Prokaryotes where genes are frequently dispersed between taxa …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) live as obligate root symbionts on almost all land plants.
They have long been regarded as ancient asexuals that have propagated clonally for …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi form endosymbioses with most plants, and they
themselves are hosts for Mollicutes/Mycoplasma‐related endobacteria (MRE). Despite their …

Transposable elements (TEs) are ubiquitous inhabitants of eukaryotic genomes and their
proliferation and dispersal shape genome architectures and diversity. Nevertheless, TE …

Fungi are evolutionary shape shifters and adapt quickly to new environments.
Ectomycorrhizal (EM) symbioses are mutualistic associations between fungi and plants and …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are known to improve plant fitness through the
establishment of mycorrhizal symbioses. Genetic and phenotypic variations among closely …
