Background Colletotrichum fungi infect a wide diversity of monocot and dicot hosts, causing
diseases on almost all economically important plants worldwide. Colletotrichum is also a …

The most frequently encountered symbiont on tree roots is the ascomycete Cenococcum
geophilum, the only mycorrhizal species within the largest fungal class Dothideomycetes, a …

Background Magnaporthaceae, a family of ascomycetes, includes three fungi of great
economic importance that cause disease in cereal and turf grasses: Magnaporthe oryzae …

To clarify the early molecular interaction between ectomycorrhizal partners, we performed a
RNA‐Seq study of transcriptome reprogramming of the basidiomycete Hebeloma …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis is the most widespread mutualistic association. It
concerns 80% of land plants and involves fungi belonging to the phylum Glomeromycota …

Recent advances in molecular methods have increased our understanding of various fungal
symbioses. However, little is known about genomic and microbiome features of most …

Background The colonization of land and the diversification of terrestrial plants is intimately
linked to the evolutionary history of their symbiotic fungal partners. Extant representatives of …

Amplification of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) of ribosomal RNA genes using PCR
and subsequent RFLP analysis offers promise for improved species-level identification of …

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

The genus Pisolithus is a group of global ectomycorrhizal fungi. The characterizations of
Pisolithus mitochondrial genomes have still been unknown. In the present study, the …
