Fungi form a major and diverse component of most ecosystems on Earth. They are both
micro and macroorganisms with high and varying functional diversity as well as great …

Feedback between plants and soil microbial communities can be a powerful driver of
vegetation dynamics. Plants elicit changes in the soil microbiome that either promote or …

Stress is ubiquitous and disrupts homeostasis, leading to damage, decreased fitness, and
even death. Like other organisms, mycorrhizal fungi evolved mechanisms for stress …

Mycorrhizal symbioses between plants and fungi are vital for the soil structure, nutrient
cycling, plant diversity, and ecosystem sustainability. More than 250 000 plant species are …

To elucidate the genomic traits of ecological diversification in the Hymenochaetales, we
sequenced 15 new genomes, with attention to ectomycorrhizal (EcM) Coltricia species …

The mutualistic ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal genus Pisolithus comprises 19 species
defined to date which colonize the roots of> 50 hosts worldwide suggesting that substantial …

The ectomycorrhizal (ECM) symbiosis has independently evolved from diverse types of
saprotrophic ancestors. In this study, we seek to identify genomic signatures of the transition …

Ectomycorrhizal fungi play a key role in forests by establishing mutualistic symbioses with
woody plants. Genome analyses have identified conserved symbiosis‐related traits among …

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 fungi establish a mutualistic symbiosis in roots of most woody plants. The
molecular underpinning of ectomycorrhizal development was only explored in a few …
