Here, the coevolution of mycorrhizal fungi and roots is assessed in the light of evidence now
available, from palaeobotanical and morphological studies and the analysis of DNA‐based …

Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is an amenable model to study the molecular and biochemical
events that lead to morphological transition in fungi, because temperature seems to be the …

The phylogeny of Trichoderma and the phylogenetic relationships of its species was
investigated by maximum parsimony analysis and distance analysis of DNA sequences from …

In the entire fungal kingdom, only DNA substitution rates in the SSU rRNA gene (Berbee and
Taylor 1993, 2001) and amino acid substitution rates (Heckman et al. 2001) have been …

In the 1940s, screens for metabolic mutants of the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa
established the fundamental, one-to-one relationship between a gene and a specific protein …

The history of life on Earth is chronicled in the geological strata, the fossil record, and the
genomes of contemporary organisms. When examined together, these records help identify …

Potassium is the most abundant cation in cells. Therefore, plant-associated fungi and
intracellular parasites are permanently or circumstantially exposed to high K+ and must …

Publisher Summary Mycorrhizas are symbiotic associations established between thousands
of species of soil-borne fungi and the roots of most terrestrial plant species. This chapter …

Selfish genes of no function other than self-propagation are susceptible to degeneration if
they become fixed in a population, and regular transfer to new species may be the only …

Epacrids, a group of southern hemisphere plants formerly considered members of the
separate family Epacridaceae, are in fact most closely allied to the Vaccinioid tribe …
