Functional genomics gives new insights into the ectomycorrhizal degradation of chitin
Ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi play a crucial role in the mineral nitrogen (N) nutrition of their
host trees. While it has been proposed that several EcM species also mobilize organic N …

Biogeographic history of a large clade of ectomycorrhizal fungi, the Russulaceae, in the Neotropics and adjacent regions
The biogeography of neotropical fungi remains poorly understood. Here, we reconstruct the
origins and diversification of neotropical lineages in one of the largest clades of …

Evolutionary innovations through gain and loss of genes in the ectomycorrhizal Boletales
We aimed to identify genomic traits of transitions to ectomycorrhizal ecology within the
Boletales by comparing the genomes of 21 symbiotrophic species with their saprotrophic …

Ectomycorrhizal effects on decomposition are highly dependent on fungal traits, climate, and litter properties: A model-based assessment
It has been proposed that competition between ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi and free-living
saprotrophs for resources like nitrogen (N) slows decomposition and increases the soil …
