Mycobiome diversity: high-throughput sequencing and identification of fungi
Fungi are major ecological players in both terrestrial and aquatic environments by cycling
organic matter and channelling nutrients across trophic levels. High-throughput sequencing …

Mycorrhizal ecology and evolution: the past, the present, and the future
Almost all land plants form symbiotic associations with mycorrhizal fungi. These below‐
ground fungi play a key role in terrestrial ecosystems as they regulate nutrient and carbon …

Large-scale genome sequencing of mycorrhizal fungi provides insights into the early evolution of symbiotic traits
Mycorrhizal fungi are mutualists that play crucial roles in nutrient acquisition in terrestrial
ecosystems. Mycorrhizal symbioses arose repeatedly across multiple lineages of …

Convergent losses of decay mechanisms and rapid turnover of symbiosis genes in mycorrhizal mutualists
To elucidate the genetic bases of mycorrhizal lifestyle evolution, we sequenced new fungal
genomes, including 13 ectomycorrhizal (ECM), orchid (ORM) and ericoid (ERM) species …

Interplay between innate immunity and the plant microbiota
The innate immune system of plants recognizes microbial pathogens and terminates their
growth. However, recent findings suggest that at least one layer of this system is also …

Ectomycorrhizal fungi–potential organic matter decomposers, yet not saprotrophs
BD Lindahl, A Tunlid - New Phytologist, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Although hypothesized for many years, the involvement of ectomycorrhizal fungi in
decomposition of soil organic matter remains controversial and has not yet been fully …
