Background Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi develop a mutualistic symbiotic interaction with
the roots of their host plants. During this process, they undergo a series of developmental …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) impact plant growth and are a major driver of plant
diversity and productivity. We quantified the contribution of intra-specific genetic variability in …

Trees are able to colonize, establish and survive in a wide range of soils through
associations with ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi. Proper functioning of EcM fungi implies the …

Given recent technological advances, we are in a golden era of cell and whole organism
research. With the availability of so many sequenced genomes, and the data that has been …

The coordinated transcriptomic responses of both mutualistic ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi
and their hosts during the establishment of symbiosis are not well-understood. This study …

To gain further insight into the role of the plant genome in arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM)
establishment, we investigated whether symbiosis-related plant genes affect fungal gene …

The arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) association between terrestrial plants and soil fungi of the
phylum Glomeromycota is the most widespread beneficial plant–microbe interaction on …

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 …

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 …

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 …
