A novel plant–fungal mutualism associated with fire
Fungal Biology, 2012Bromus tectorum, or cheatgrass, is native to Eurasia and widely invasive in western North America. By late spring, this annual plant has dispersed its seed and died; its aboveground biomass then becomes fine fuel that burns as frequently as once every 3-5 y in its invaded range.

Fungal mutualisms and pathosystems: life and death in the ambrosia beetle mycangia
Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2021Ambrosia beetles and their microbial communities, housed in specialized structures termed mycangia, represent one of the oldest and most diverse systems of mutualism and parasitism described thus far. Comprised of core filamentous fungal members, but also including bacteria and yeasts, the mycangia represent a unique adaptation that allows beetles to ...

An invasive plant–fungal mutualism reduces arthropod diversity
Ecology Letters, 2008AbstractEcological theory holds that competition and predation are the most important biotic forces affecting the composition of communities. Here, we expand this framework by demonstrating that mutualism can fundamentally alter community and food web structure.

Niche engineering demonstrates a latent capacity for fungal-algal mutualism [PDF]
Science, 2014 It takes two to tango in restricted environments Despite being unrelated, freeliving algae and fungi can learn to help one another out. Hom and Murray raised the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii in CO 2 -restricted environments in ...

Fungal-Insect Mutualism in Trees and Timber
Annual Review of Entomology, 1967The ability of many insects to exploit potential food resources to the best advantage, or even to utilize them at all, is dependent upon a reciprocally beneficial association with specific microorganisms referred to as symbiotes or symbionts. This is true of many species of insects existing in such an as sociation with fungoid organisms and deriving ...

Fungal Endophytes of Grasses: A Defensive Mutualism between Plants and Fungi
Ecology, 1988Many grasses are infected by systemic fungal endophytes (family Clavicipitaceae, Ascomycetes) that produce pysiologically active alkaloids in the tissues of their hosts. Infection makes grasses toxic to domestic mammals and increases resistance to insect herbivores.

Fungal genotype controls mutualism and sex in brachyposium sylvaticum infected by epichloë sylvatica [PDF]
Acta Biologica Hungarica, 2001 The fungal endophyte Epichloë sylvatica (Clavicipitaceae, Ascomycota) may obligatorily infect the woodland grass Brachypodium sylvaticum, on which it can display two alternative modes of reproduction. During the sexual cycle, external stromata suppress host flowering and production of seed (choke disease), whereas in the asexual cycle the fungus ...

Fungal symbiosis from mutualism to parasitism: who controls the outcome, host or invader? [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2001 • Plant symbiotic fungi are generally thought to express a single lifestyle that might increase (mutualism), decrease (parasitism), or have no influence (commensalism) on host fitness. However, data are presented here demonstrating that plant pathogenic Colletotrichum species are able to asymptomatically colonize plants and express nonpathogenic ...

Functional complementarity of ancient plant–fungal mutualisms: contrasting nitrogen, phosphorus and carbon exchanges between Mucoromycotina and Glomeromycotina fungal symbionts of liverworts [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2019 Summary Liverworts, which are amongst the earliest divergent plant lineages and important ecosystem pioneers, often form nutritional mutualisms with arbuscular mycorrhiza‐forming Glomeromycotina and fine‐root endophytic Mucoromycotina fungi, both of which coevolved with early land plants.

Fungal nutrition allocation enhances mutualism with fungus-growing termite
Fungal Ecology, 2019Abstract Fungal nodules and aged fungus gardens are products of termite fungiculture systems, and are the diets of termites. To understand the nutrition flow in fungiculture, we quantified the number and mass of fungal nodules produced along with fungus garden maturation and analysed the α-amino acid and fatty acid compositions of fungal nodules ...
