The colonisation of tree roots by ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi is the result of numerous
signalling exchanges between organisms, many of which occur before physical contact …

It is believed that resource exchange, which is responsible for intensified growth of
ectomycorrhizal plants, occurs in the fungus–plant interface. However, increasing evidence …

Trees form symbioses with ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi, maintained in part through mutual
benefit to both organisms. Our understanding of the signaling events leading to the …

Plant roots co-inhabit the soil with a diverse consortium of microbes of which a number
attempt to enter symbiosis with the plant. These microbes may be pathogenic, mutualistic, or …

The pathways regulated in ectomycorrhizal (EcM) plant hosts during the establishment of
symbiosis are not as well understood when compared to the functional stages of this …

Mycorrhizas are known to have a positive impact on plant growth and ability to resist major
biotic and abiotic stresses. However, the metabolic alterations underlying mycorrhizal …

Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) are common belowground tree symbionts, supplying trees with
water and nutrients. In return, large amounts of C assimilated by trees can be allocated into …

Ectomycorrhizae (ECMs) are a highly context‐dependent interactions that are not always
beneficial for the plant host, sometimes leading to a decrease in plant growth. However, the …

Ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi play important roles in nutrient cycling and plant community
establishment in forest ecosystems. Effects of EM formation on global alterations of the …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi are integral to boreal and temperate forest ecosystem
functioning and nutrient cycling. ECM fungi, however, originate from diverse saprotrophic …
