The fine root systems of ericaceous plants possess both absorptive fibrous roots and
skeletal pioneer roots. This functional differentiation (heterorhizy) can be coupled with a …

Background Ericoid mycorrhizal fungi (EMF) play important roles in mineral cycling and
plant nutrient acquisition, and they increase plant survival in nutrient-poor environments. In …

Genome sequencing data revealed unexpected similarities among plant-interacting fungi
belonging to different ecological guilds. In particular, the sequenced genomes of ericoid …

Plant root associations with microbes such as mycorrhizal fungi or N-fixing bacteria enable
ecosystems to tap pools of nitrogen (N) that might otherwise be inaccessible, including …

Mycorrhizal symbioses are one of the most ubiquitous inter-organism relationships on the
Earth, and particularly so in the terrestrial environment (Smith & Read, 2008). These …

Mycorrhizal fungi form mutualistic relationships with the majority of terrestrial plants,
influencing nutrient uptake, soil structure, plant growth, and ecosystem functioning. The …
