Research on mycorrhizal symbiosis has been slowed by a lack of established study
systems. To address this challenge, we have been developing Suillus, a widespread …

Almost all land plants form symbiotic associations with mycorrhizal fungi. These below‐
ground fungi play a key role in terrestrial ecosystems as they regulate nutrient and carbon …

The mycorrhizal symbiosis between soil fungi and plant roots is a ubiquitous mutualism that
plays key roles in plant nutrition, soil health, and carbon cycling. The symbiosis evolved …

While there has been significant progress characterizing the 'symbiotic toolkit'of
ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi, how host specificity may be encoded into ECM fungal …

Mycorrhizal symbioses are complex relationships between plants and fungi that significantly
affect ecosystem dynamics and functions across terrestrial environments. These symbiotic …

Despite the importance of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi in forest ecosystems, knowledge
about the ecological and co‐evolutionary mechanisms underlying ECM host associations …

Ectomycorrhizal fungi employ different strategies for mycelial growth and host colonization
under varying nutrient conditions. However, key genes associated with mycorrhizal …

Mycorrhizas are among the most important biological interkingdom interactions, as they
involve~ 340,000 land plants and~ 50,000 taxa of soil fungi. In these mutually beneficial …

Two common ecological assumptions are that host generalist and rare species are poorer
competitors relative to host specialist and more abundant counterparts. While these …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi associate with the vast majority of land plants, providing
mutual nutritional benefits and protecting hosts against biotic and abiotic stresses …
