Highlights•Host-dependent root colonization strategies are a common feature in broad
compatibility.•Gene family expansion and contraction correlate with fungal …

Root-fungal symbioses such as mycorrhizas and endophytes are key components of
terrestrial ecosystems. Diverse in trophy habits (obligate, facultative or hemi-biotrophs) and …

The symbiosis of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) with plants, the most ancient and
widespread association, exhibits phenotypes that range from mutualism to parasitism …

Mycorrhizas are widespread below‐ground symbioses formed between plant roots and soil
fungi. This plant–fungal partnership impacts terrestrial ecosystems by mediating plant …

This chapter summarizes fungal and plant aspects of carbohydrate acquisition and transfer
in ectomycorrhizal (ECM) symbiosis. A central aspect of mycorrhizal function, and a driving …

Abstract Key Message Composite poplars were used for ectomycorrhiza formation.
Structurally normal mycorrhizas of transgenic roots revealed better fungal sugar support …

Convergent patterns in morphological and genetic traits of mycorrhizas have been well-
documented and reflect common selection forces that define mycorrhizas. However …

Ectomycorrhiza is the symbiotic interacting between fungal hyphae and plant roots. The
fungus provides the plant with nutrients mobilized from soil and the plant delivers …

Um die Zeit, die zur Erzeugung von transgenen Pflanzen benötigt wird, zu verringern,
wurden im Rahmen dieser Arbeit so genannte Komposit-Pappeln entwickelt. Komposit …

The ectomycorrhizal symbiosis enables forest ecosystems to cover about 30% of the Earth s
terrestrial surface. In this symbiosis the fungus gets easily degradable plant derived …
