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 mycorrhizal symbiosis between soil fungi and plant roots is a ubiquitous mutualism that
plays key roles in plant nutrition, soil health, and carbon cycling. The symbiosis evolved …

The ectomycorrhizal symbiosis involving trees and soil fungi is a process of major ecological
importance in forest ecosystems. The establishment of an effective symbiosis encompasses …

Mycorrhizal symbioses—the union of roots and soil fungi—are universal in terrestrial
ecosystems and may have been fundamental to land colonization by plants,. Boreal …

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

Soils contain a multitude of fungi with vastly divergent lifestyles ranging from saprotrophic to
mutualistic and pathogenic. The recent release of many fungal genomes has led to …

During the diversification of Fungi and the rise of conifer-dominated and angiosperm-
dominated forests, mutualistic symbioses developed between certain trees and …

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

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi associate with the vast majority of land plants, providing
mutual nutritional benefits and protecting hosts against biotic and abiotic stresses …

Some soil fungi in the Leotiomycetes form ericoid mycorrhizal (ERM) symbioses with
Ericaceae. In the harsh habitats in which they occur, ERM plant survival relies on nutrient …
