Trees can be associated with dozens of fungi helping them to acquire resources from forest
soils. The most widespread mutualistic association in boreal and temperate forests is the …

In the ectomycorrhizal symbiosis between fungi and trees, the fungus completely ensheaths
the tree roots and takes over water and mineral nutrient supply, while the plant supplies …

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

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 …

Plant nutrients, with the exception of nitrogen, are ultimately derived from weathering of
primary minerals. Traditional theories about the role of ectomycorrhizal fungi in plant …

Mycorrhizal fungi benefit plants by improved mineral nutrition and protection against stress,
yet information about fundamental differences among mycorrhizal types in fungi and trees …

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

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 …

The mutualistic symbiosis between forest trees and ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) is among
the most ubiquitous and successful interactions in terrestrial ecosystems. Specific species of …
