Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) grow as saprotrophs in soil and interact with plants, forming
mutualistic associations with roots of many economically and ecologically important forest …

Mycorrhizal fungi are mutualists that play crucial roles in nutrient acquisition in terrestrial
ecosystems. Mycorrhizal symbioses arose repeatedly across multiple lineages of …

Plant–microbe symbioses span a continuum from pathogenic to mutualistic, with functional
consequences for both organisms in the symbiosis. In order to increase sustainable food …

Small RNAs (sRNAs) are known to regulate pathogenic plant–microbe interactions.
Emerging evidence from the study of these model systems suggests that microRNAs …

Mycorrhizal fungi form mutualistic associations with the roots of most land plants and provide
them with mineral nutrients from the soil in exchange for fixed carbon derived from …

Mycorrhizal fungi considerably improve plant nutrition and help them to cope with changing
environments. Particularly, these fungi express proteins to transfer inorganic phosphate (P i) …

Ectomycorrhizas are an intrinsic component of tree nutrition and responses to environmental
variations. How epigenetic mechanisms might regulate these mutualistic interactions is …

Agaricomycetes are fruiting body‐forming fungi that produce some of the most efficient
enzyme systems to degrade wood. Despite decades‐long interest in their biology, the …
