Mycorrhizal symbioses are at the core of linkages between soil microbial processes,
vegetation, soil carbon storage and release, and movements of nutrients and water. The …

Morphological characters and nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA) phylogenies have so far been
the basis of the current classifications of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. Improved …

Population studies have revealed that the fungal ectomycorrhizal morphospecies
Tricholoma scalpturatum consists of at least two genetically distinct groups that occur …

Nuclei of arbuscular endomycorrhizal fungi have been described as highly diverse due to
their asexual nature and absence of a single cell stage with only one nucleus. This has …

The ectomycorrhizal (ECM) symbiosis has independently evolved from diverse types of
saprotrophic ancestors. In this study, we seek to identify genomic signatures of the transition …

Transposable elements (TEs) are repetitive DNA that can create genome structure and
regulation variability. The genome of Rhizophagus irregularis, a widely studied arbuscular …

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

The ectomycorrhizal basidiomycete Tricholoma matsutake produces commercially valuable
fruit bodies—matsutake—in Pinus sp. forest. Here we report that PCR with outward facing …

Many obligate symbiotic fungi are difficult to maintain in culture, and there is a growing need
for alternative approaches to obtaining tissue and subsequent genomic assemblies from …

Fungi are a large group of eukaryotes found in nearly all ecosystems. More than 250 fungal
genomes have already been sequenced, greatly improving our understanding of fungal …
