The mechanism by which tree roots and soil fungi interact and form their common, symbiotic
organ, the ectomycorrhiza (ECM), involves numerous steps. During this ontogenic process …

Ectomycorrhizal symbioses involve roots of trees and soilborne fungi, which interact to
create mutualistic interactions beneficial for both partners. This chapter gives an overview of …

Ectomycorrhizal symbioses are among the most widespread associations between roots of
trees and soil fungi in forest ecosystems and contribute significantly to the sustainability of …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) symbioses are among the most widespread associations between
roots of woody plants and soil fungi in forest ecosystems. These associations contribute …

Abstract Development of mutualistic symbioses between ectomycorrhizal fungi and their
host trees involves multiple gene networks that are involved in a complex series of …

For the ectomycorrhizal establishment, different signals must be exchanged between plants
and fungal partners. After a brief description of the ectomycorrhiza formation, the present …

The availability of genome sequences from both arbuscular and ectomycorrhizal fungi and
their hosts has, together with elegant biochemical and molecular biological analyses …

Development of ectomycorrhizas involves multiple genes that are implicated in a complex
series of interdependent, sequential steps. Current research into ectomycorrhiza …

Among the favourable plant-microbe interactions that have been studied in the greatest
detail are mycorrhizal associations in which soil fungi enter in mutually beneficial symbioses …
