Mycorrhizal ecology and evolution: the past, the present, and the future
Almost all land plants form symbiotic associations with mycorrhizal fungi. These below‐
ground fungi play a key role in terrestrial ecosystems as they regulate nutrient and carbon …

Mechanisms of stress tolerance and their effects on the ecology and evolution of mycorrhizal fungi
Stress is ubiquitous and disrupts homeostasis, leading to damage, decreased fitness, and
even death. Like other organisms, mycorrhizal fungi evolved mechanisms for stress …

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 …

Population genetics of ectomycorrhizal fungi: from current knowledge to emerging directions
Ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi are major microbial components of boreal, temperate and
Mediterranean forests, as well as some tropical forest ecosystems. Nearly two decades of …

Acquisition of host-derived carbon in biomass of the ectomycorrhizal fungus Pisolithus microcarpus is correlated to fungal carbon demand and plant defences
Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi are key players in forest carbon (C) sequestration, receiving a
substantial proportion of photosynthetic C from their forest tree hosts in exchange for plant …

Ultramafic soils and species sorting in the flora of New Caledonia
Island floras are generally characterized by disharmony due to uneven representations of
plant groups. This has usually been explained by the unequal capacity of plants to disperse …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi from New Caledonian ultramafic soils improve tolerance to nickel of endemic plant species
In order to improve knowledge about the role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in the
tolerance to heavy metals in ultramafic soils, the present study investigated the influence of …
