Symbiosis with ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi is an advantageous partnership for trees in
nutrient-limited environments. Ectomycorrhizal fungi colonize the roots of their hosts and …

Ectomycorrhizal fungi, such as Laccaria bicolor, support forest growth and sustainability by
providing growth-limiting nutrients to their plant host through a mutualistic symbiotic …

Populus species and hybrids (poplars, aspens, cottonwoods, etc.) are important trees in
forestry and landscaping, whereas Populus trichocarpa is an internationally accepted model …

Recalcitrant adventitious root (AR) development is a major hurdle in propagating
commercially important woody plants. Although significant progress has been made to …

Pathogenic microbes are known to manipulate the defences of their hosts through the
production of secreted effector proteins. More recently, mutualistic mycorrhizal fungi have …

Interactions between Leptosphaeria maculans, causal agent of stem canker of oilseed rape,
and its Brassica hosts are models of choice to explore the multiplicity of 'gene‐for‐gene' …

Trees are dependent on the activity of soil microorganisms, including mutualistic
ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi and soil-dwelling bacteria, for access to phosphorus (P). While …

Ectomycorrhiza is a symbiosis between plants and fungi. It is the type of mycorrhiza that
involves the highest number of fungal species and it involves many stand forming tree …

Tree growth and survival are dependent on their ability to perceive signals, integrate them,
and trigger timely and fitted molecular and growth responses. While ectomycorrhizal …

Forest trees rely on ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi to obtain growth‐limiting nutrients. While
addition of nitrogen (N) has the potential to disrupt these critical relationships, there is …
