Mycorrhizal symbioses (mycorrhizas) of Ericaceae, including ericoid mycorrhiza (ErM), have
been mainly studied in the Northern Hemisphere, although the highest diversity of …

Research on mycorrhizal symbiosis has been slowed by a lack of established study
systems. To address this challenge, we have been developing Suillus, a widespread …

Orchid seed germination in nature is an extremely complex physiological and ecological
process involving seed development and mutualistic interactions with a restricted range of …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi form mutualistic relationships with most land plant
species. AM fungi have long been considered as ancient asexuals. Long-term clonal …

Coastal pollution, including nutrient loading, can negatively impact seagrass health and
cover and may consequently alter soil organic carbon (SOC) accumulation and …

Sesquiterpenes (STs) are secondary metabolites, which mediate biotic interactions between
different organisms. Predicting the species-specific ST repertoires can contribute to …

The understanding of soil organic matter (SOM) dynamics has considerably advanced in
recent years. It was previously assumed that most SOM consisted of recalcitrant compounds …

Background Major advances over the past decade in molecular ecology are providing
access to soil fungal diversity in forest ecosystems worldwide, but the diverse functions and …

Mushrooms have been utilized by humans for thousands of years due to their medicinal and
nutritional properties. They are a crucial natural source of bioactive secondary metabolites …

The genus Hebeloma is renowned as difficult when it comes to species determination.
