The mycorrhizal symbiosis: research frontiers in genomics, ecology, and agricultural application

FM Martin, MGA van Der Heijden - New Phytologist, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Mycorrhizal symbioses between plants and fungi are vital for the soil structure, nutrient
cycling, plant diversity, and ecosystem sustainability. More than 250 000 plant species are …

Modified source–sink dynamics govern resource exchange in ectomycorrhizal symbiosis

LM Bogar - New Phytologist, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Ectomycorrhizal symbiosis between roots and fungi is founded on the movement of carbon
from plants to fungi, and of soil resources from fungi to plants. Framing this movement as a …

Fungal metabolism and free amino acid content may predict nitrogen transfer to the host plant in the ectomycorrhizal relationship between Pisolithus spp. and …

KL Plett, D Wojtalewicz, IC Anderson… - New Phytologist, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi are crucial for tree nitrogen (N) nutrition; however, mechanisms
governing N transfer from fungal tissues to the host plant are not well understood. ECM …

[HTML][HTML] Mycorrhizal C/N ratio determines plant-derived carbon and nitrogen allocation to symbiosis

R Pena, SL Bluhm, S Ammerschubert… - Communications …, 2023 - nature.com
Carbon allocation of trees to ectomycorrhizas is thought to shape forest nutrient cycling, but
the sink activities of different fungal taxa for host resources are unknown. Here, we …

Maintenance of host specialisation gradients in ectomycorrhizal symbionts

F Voller, A Ardanuy, AFS Taylor, D Johnson - New Phytologist, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Many fungi that form ectomycorrhizas exhibit a degree of host specialisation, and individual
trees are frequently colonised by communities of mycorrhizal fungi comprising species that …

Different ectomycorrhizal fungal species impact poplar growth but not phosphorus utilization under low P supply

H Shi, U Lipka, A Polle - Tree Physiology, 2024 - academic.oup.com
Tree growth is often limited by phosphorus (P) availability. The trade-off between P
homeostasis and growth is unknown. Ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi facilitate P availability but …
