The most frequently encountered symbiont on tree roots is the ascomycete Cenococcum
geophilum, the only mycorrhizal species within the largest fungal class Dothideomycetes, a …

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

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

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

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 …

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 …

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

As members of the plant microbiota, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF, Glomeromycotina)
symbiotically colonize plant roots. AMF also possess their own microbiota, hosting some …

Soils contain a multitude of fungi with vastly divergent lifestyles ranging from saprotrophic to
mutualistic and pathogenic. The recent release of many fungal genomes has led to …
