The ectomycorrhizal basidiomycete Laccaria bicolor has a dual lifestyle with a transitory soil
saprotrophic phase and a longer mutualistic interaction with tree roots. Recent evidence …

Cenococcum geophilum is an ectomycorrhizal fungus with global distribution in numerous
habitats and associates with a large range of host species including gymnosperm and …

Fungi are major players in the carbon cycle in forest ecosystems due to the wide range of
interactions they have with plants either through soil degradation processes by litter …

Extracellular proteins play crucial roles in the interaction between mycorrhizal fungi and their
environment. Computational prediction and experimental detection allowed identification of …

Based on the analysis of its genome sequence, the ectomycorrhizal (ECM) basidiomycetous
fungus Laccaria bicolor was shown to be lacking many of the major classes of secreted …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis that associates roots of most land plants with soil-
borne fungi (Glomeromycota), is characterized by reciprocal nutritional benefits. Fungal …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi form the most wide‐spread endosymbiosis with plants. There is
very little host specificity in this interaction, however host preferences as well as varying …

Lignocellulose, the major reservoir of organic carbon on Earth, is recalcitrant to turnover and
resistant to microbial and enzymatic attack because of the protective action of lignin and the …

To establish and maintain a symbiotic relationship, the ectomycorrhizal fungus Laccaria
bicolor releases mycorrhiza‐induced small secreted proteins (MiSSPs) into host roots. Here …

To clarify the early molecular interaction between ectomycorrhizal partners, we performed a
RNA‐Seq study of transcriptome reprogramming of the basidiomycete Hebeloma …
