Soil salinization adversely affects plant growth and has become one of the major limiting
factors for crop productivity worldwide. The conventional approach, breeding salt-tolerant …

In the fungal kingdom, the ectomycorrhizal (EcM) symbiosis has evolved independently in
multiple groups that are referred to as lineages. A growing number of molecular studies in …

Most trees form symbioses with ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) which influence access to
growth-limiting soil resources. Mesocosm experiments repeatedly show that EMF species …

Truffles (Tuber) are ectomycorrhizal fungi characterized by hypogeous fruitbodies. Their
biodiversity, host associations and geographical distributions are not well documented. ITS …

Mycorrhizosphere microbes enhance functioning of the plant–soil interface, but little is
known of their ecology. This study aims to characterize the ascomycete communities …

The genus Quercus (the oaks) is an important tree taxon and we review here several
aspects of its biology relevant to domestication and summarize progress to date in breeding …

A historical retrospect and a taxonomic update will deal with Sebacina sl and s. str.,
Craterocolla, Efibulobasidium, Serendipita, Tremellodendron, Tremelloscypha …

• Premise of the study: Mycoheterotrophic plants, which completely depend upon
mycorrhizal fungi for their nutrient supply, have unusual associations with fungal partners …

Interactions between host tree species and ectomycorrhizal fungi are important in structuring
ectomycorrhizal communities, but there are only a few studies on host influence of …

Rubroboletus is erected as a new genus to accommodate Boletus sinicus and its allies
based on morphological and molecular evidence. Morphologically, Rubroboletus differs …
