During the diversification of Fungi and the rise of conifer-dominated and angiosperm-
dominated forests, mutualistic symbioses developed between certain trees and …

The ectomycorrhizal symbiosis involving trees and soil fungi is a process of major ecological
importance in forest ecosystems. The establishment of an effective symbiosis encompasses …

Classic ectomycorrhizal symbioses are mutualisms that involve the exchange of fixed
carbon for mineral nutrients between plant roots and fungi. They are unique in the way they …

In the fungal kingdom, the ectomycorrhizal (EcM) symbiosis has evolved independently in
multiple groups that are referred to as lineages. A growing number of molecular studies in …

The fungal symbionts forming ectomycorrhizas, as well as their associated bacteria, benefit
forest trees in a number of ways although the most important is enhancing soil nutrient …

In this review, we highlight the main insights that have been gathered from recent
developments using large-scale genomics of fungal saprotrophs and symbiotrophs …

The ectomycorrhizal (ECM) symbiosis is increasingly seen as a crucial component for
nutrient cycling in sustainable forest ecosystems. To date, the complete genome sequence …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal and ectomycorrhizal symbioses are among the most important
drivers of terrestrial ecosystem dynamics. Historically, the two types of symbioses have been …

Mycorrhizal fungi are mutualists that play crucial roles in nutrient acquisition in terrestrial
ecosystems. Mycorrhizal symbioses arose repeatedly across multiple lineages of …

Molecular tools have now been applied for the past 5 years to dissect ectomycorrhizal (EM)
community structure, and they have propelled a resurgence in interest in the field. Results …
