Evolutionary transition to the ectomycorrhizal habit in the genomes of a hyperdiverse lineage of mushroom‐forming fungi
The ectomycorrhizal (ECM) symbiosis has independently evolved from diverse types of
saprotrophic ancestors. In this study, we seek to identify genomic signatures of the transition …

Suillus: an emerging model for the study of ectomycorrhizal ecology and evolution
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 …

Comparative genomics and transcriptomics depict ericoid mycorrhizal fungi as versatile saprotrophs and plant mutualists
Some soil fungi in the Leotiomycetes form ericoid mycorrhizal (ERM) symbioses with
Ericaceae. In the harsh habitats in which they occur, ERM plant survival relies on nutrient …
