Mycorrhizal fungi belong to several taxa and develop mutualistic symbiotic associations with
over 90% of all plant species, from liverworts to angiosperms. While descriptive approaches …

The establishment of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbioses, formed by most flowering
plants in association with glomeromycotan fungi, and the root-nodule (RN) symbiosis …

Molecular tools have now been applied for the past 5 years to dissect ectomycorrhizal (EM)
community structure, and they have propelled a resurgence in interest in the field. Results …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are relevant plant symbionts whose hyphae and spores
carry hundreds of coexisting nuclei with supposedly divergent genomes but no sign of …

For more than 450 million years, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have formed intimate,
mutualistic symbioses with the vast majority of land plants and are major drivers in almost all …

Mycorrhizal fungi are central to the biology of land plants. However, to what extent
mycorrhizal shifts–broad evolutionary transitions in root‐associated fungal symbionts–are …

Cooperative interactions among species, termed mutualisms, have played a crucial role in
the evolution of life on Earth. However, despite key potential benefits to partners, there are …
