Liverworts form endophytic associations with fungi that mirror mycorrhizal associations in
tracheophytes. Here we report a worldwide survey of liverwort associations with …

Microscopic evidence suggests that fungi forming endosymbioses with liverworts in the
Marchantiales are arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi from the Glomeromycota. Polymerase …

Liverworts, the most ancient group of land plants, form a range of intimate associations with
fungi that may be analogous to the mycorrhizas of vascular plants. Most thalloid liverworts …

Haplomitrium, a primitive liverwort taxon with only remote affinities to other liverwort groups,
develops root‐like subterranean axes harbouring fungal endophytes. Here we report on the …

Liverworts form diverse associations with endophytic fungi similar to mycorrhizas in vascular
plants. Whereas the widespread occurrence of glomeromycotes in the basal liverwort …

Thallus anatomy in three species of the primitive liverwort genus Treubia (Metzgeriidae,
Treubiales) was studied by light and electron microscopy. The thallus exudes copious …

This article reviews published data on the likely occurrence of basidiomycetous endophytes
in jungermannialean (leafy) liverworts and presents a new overview based on observations …

Fungal symbioses are one of the key attributes of land plants. The twenty first century has
witnessed the increasing use of molecular data complemented by cytological studies in …

Hornworts are considered the sister group to vascular plants, but their fungal associations
remain largely unexplored. The ancestral symbiotic condition for all plants is, nonetheless …

Abstract Background and Aims The rhizoids of leafy liverworts (Jungermanniales,
Marchantiophyta) are commonly colonized by the ascomycete fungus Pezoloma ericae …
