Stress is ubiquitous and disrupts homeostasis, leading to damage, decreased fitness, and
even death. Like other organisms, mycorrhizal fungi evolved mechanisms for stress …

Chromium (Cr) is one of the toxic elements that harms all forms of life, including plants.
Industrial discharges and mining largely contribute to Cr release into the soil environment …

Metal nanoparticles used as antifungals have increased the occurrence of fungal–metal
interactions. However, there is a lack of knowledge about how these interactions cause …

Detecting the extrinsic selective pressures shaping genomic variation is critical for a better
understanding of adaptation and for forecasting evolutionary responses of natural …

The horizontal transfer of large gene clusters by mobile elements is a key driver of
prokaryotic adaptation in response to environmental stresses. Eukaryotic microbes face …

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

In this review, I explore the pervasive but underappreciated role of local adaptation in fungi.
It has been difficult historically to study local adaptation in fungi because of the limited …

Introduction Mushroom-forming fungi comprise diverse species that develop complex
multicellular structures. In cultivated species, both ecological adaptation and artificial …

To date, most reports of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in fungi rely on genome sequence
data and are therefore an indirect measure of HGT after the event has occurred. However, a …

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 …
