To elucidate the genetic bases of mycorrhizal lifestyle evolution, we sequenced new fungal
genomes, including 13 ectomycorrhizal (ECM), orchid (ORM) and ericoid (ERM) species …

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

Mycorrhizal symbioses—the union of roots and soil fungi—are universal in terrestrial
ecosystems and may have been fundamental to land colonization by plants,. Boreal …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis (AMS), a widespread mutualistic association of land
plants and fungi 1, is predicted to have arisen once, early in the evolution of land plants 2–4 …

Mycorrhizae, the symbiotic associations of plant roots and fungal hyphae, are classic
examples of mutualisms. In these ecologically important associations, the fungi derive …

In this review, we highlight the main insights that have been gathered from recent
developments using large-scale genomics of fungal saprotrophs and symbiotrophs …

The ectomycorrhizal (ECM) symbiosis is increasingly seen as a crucial component for
nutrient cycling in sustainable forest ecosystems. To date, the complete genome sequence …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi associate with the vast majority of land plants, providing
mutual nutritional benefits and protecting hosts against biotic and abiotic stresses …

During the diversification of Fungi and the rise of conifer-dominated and angiosperm-
dominated forests, mutualistic symbioses developed between certain trees and …

The ectomycorrhizal symbiosis involving trees and soil fungi is a process of major ecological
importance in forest ecosystems. The establishment of an effective symbiosis encompasses …
