The function of the ectomycorrhizal mutualism depends on the ability of the fungal symbionts
to take up nutrients (particularly nitrogen) available in inorganic and/or organic form in the …

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

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, as obligate biotrophs, rely for their growth and activity on
carbon provided by their host plant and, in exchange, they improve the mineral nutrition of …

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 …

Through a mutualistic relationship with woody plant roots, ectomycorrhizal fungi provide
growth‐limiting nutrients, including inorganic phosphate (Pi), to their host. Reciprocal trades …

The basidiomycete Hebeloma cylindrosporum has been extensively studied with respect to
mycorrhiza differentiation and metabolism and also to population dynamics. Its life cycle can …

Ectomycorrhizal fungi are symbiotically associated microorganisms which ecological
importance has been repeatedly demonstrated. There has been a considerable amount of …

The ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungus Hebeloma cylindrosporum is an appropriate model to
study the intraspecific functional diversity of ECM fungi in forest ecosystems. Numerous …

Ectomycorrhizas, the dominating mycorrhizal symbiosis in boreal, temperate and some
tropical forests, are formed by 5000–6000 species of the asco-and basidiomycetes. This …

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 …
