Abstract Characterization of genomic variation among different microbial species, or different
strains of the same species, is a field of significant interest with a wide range of potential …

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 …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi are soilborne microorganisms that form a mutualistic symbiotic
association with most land plants. As obligate biotrophs these fungi are unable to complete …

We have screened the genome of ecto-and endo-mycorrhizal fungi by using primers
designed on microsatellite sequences:(CT) 8,(CA) 8,(GACA) 4,(TGTC) 4,(GTG) 5. PCR …

Genome sequencing of Tricholoma matsutake revealed its unusually large size as 189.0
Mbp, which is a consequence of extraordinarily high transposable element (TE) content. We …

Highlights•In arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, multiple nuclei share a common
cytoplasm.•There can be genomic diversity among the nuclei in an isolate.•Changes in …

Schizosaccharomyces pombe and Neurospora crassa) and species of biomedical,
agricultural or biotechnological interest, genomics is now poised to rapidly permeate the …

Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) is an ancient symbiosis between the majority of land plants and
fungi from the phylum Glomeromycota. Fossil spores from the Ordovician 460 million years …

Identification of individual genets (clones) is essential for a better understanding of the
diversity, structure, and dynamic of populations of ectomycorrhizal fungi. Genets have been …

Abstract This month's Genome Watch focuses on the genome sequences of several fungal
species with distinct and varied lifestyles. These range from a saprophytic existence in dung …
