Further advances in orchid mycorrhizal research [PDF]
Orchid mycorrhizas are mutualistic interactions between fungi and members of the Orchidaceae, the world’s largest plant family. The majority of the world’s orchids are photosynthetic, a small number of species are myco-heterotrophic throughout their ...

Tidying up international nucleotide sequence databases [PDF]
Sequence analysis of the ribosomal RNA operon, particularly the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, provides a powerful tool for identification of mycorrhizal fungi.

Diversity and evolution of ABC proteins in mycorrhiza-forming fungi [PDF]
Background: Transporter proteins are predicted to have an important role in the mycorrhizal symbiosis, due to the fact that this type of an interaction between plants and fungi requires a continuous nutrient and signalling exchange.

Fungal diversity and specificity in Cephalanthera damasonium and C. longifolia (Orchidaceae) mycorrhizas [PDF]
Orchids depend on mycorrhizal fungi for their nutrition, at least in the early stages of their growth and development and in many cases throughout the life.

Convergent losses of decay mechanisms and rapid turnover of symbiosis genes in mycorrhizal mutualists. [PDF]
To elucidate the genetic bases of mycorrhizal lifestyle evolution, we sequenced new fungal genomes, including 13 ectomycorrhizal (ECM), orchid (ORM) and ericoid (ERM) species, and five saprotrophs, which we analyzed along with other fungal genomes ...

Epiparasitic plants specialized on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi [PDF]
Over 400 non-photosynthetic species from 10 families of vascular plants obtain their carbon from fungi and are thus defined as myco-heterotrophs. Many of these plants are epiparasitic on green plants from which they obtain carbon by 'cheating' shared ...

Structural plasticity in root-fungal symbioses: diverse interactions lead to improved plant fitness [PDF]
Root-fungal symbioses such as mycorrhizas and endophytes are key components of terrestrial ecosystems. Diverse in trophy habits (obligate, facultative or hemibiotrophs) and symbiotic relations (from mutualism to parasitism), these associations also show ...

Tree diversity and species identity effects on soil fungi, protists and animals are context dependent [PDF]
Plant species richness and the presence of certain influential species (sampling effect) drive the stability and functionality of ecosystems as well as primary production and biomass of consumers. However, little is known about these floristic effects on
