A common mycorrhizal network (CMN) is formed when mycorrhizal fungal hyphae connect
the roots of multiple plants of the same or different species belowground. Recently, CMNs …

In the fungal kingdom, the ectomycorrhizal (EcM) symbiosis has evolved independently in
multiple groups that are referred to as lineages. A growing number of molecular studies in …

Mycorrhizal networks, defined as a common mycorrhizal mycelium linking the roots of at
least two plants, occur in all major terrestrial ecosystems. This review discusses the recent …

The ectomycorrhizal (EcM) symbiosis involves a large number of plant and fungal taxa
worldwide. During studies on EcM diversity, numerous misidentifications, and contradictory …

It is well known that beneficial plant-associated microorganisms may stimulate plant growth
and enhance resistance to disease and abiotic stresses. The effects of climate change …

Almost all plants are engaged in symbiotic relationships with mycorrhizal fungi. These soil
fungi can promote plant growth by supplying limiting nutrients to plant roots in return for plant …

The fungal symbionts forming ectomycorrhizas, as well as their associated bacteria, benefit
forest trees in a number of ways although the most important is enhancing soil nutrient …

Molecular tools have now been applied for the past 5 years to dissect ectomycorrhizal (EM)
community structure, and they have propelled a resurgence in interest in the field. Results …

Background Vegetation change in high latitude tundra ecosystems is expected to accelerate
due to increased wildfire activity. High-severity fires increase the availability of mineral soil …

Mycorrhizal associations, by which most land plants receive mineral nutrition, are diffuse
and often non-specific. A common mycorrhizal network is formed when fungal mycelia …
