Trees are able to colonize, establish and survive in a wide range of soils through
associations with ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi. Proper functioning of EcM fungi implies the …

Background Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi develop a mutualistic symbiotic interaction with
the roots of their host plants. During this process, they undergo a series of developmental …

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 …

During a lifetime that can span several hundred years, a tree will be challenged by
generations of parasites and will encounter a host of different limitations related to nutrition …

Background Symbiotic ectomycorrhizal associations of fungi with forest trees play important
and economically significant roles in the nutrition, growth and health of boreal forest trees …

Given recent technological advances, we are in a golden era of cell and whole organism
research. With the availability of so many sequenced genomes, and the data that has been …

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

Ectomycorrhizal fungi are surrounded by bacterial communities with which they interact
physically and metabolically during their life cycle. These bacteria can have positive or …

The coordinated transcriptomic responses of both mutualistic ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi
and their hosts during the establishment of symbiosis are not well-understood. This study …

Ectomycorrhiza represents a symbiotic structure made between tree roots and filamentous
hyphae. This new organ results from a favourable interaction between plant and microbes …
