DOI: 10.1002/oik.10923
Abstract: Temperate forests on their warm and dry distribution limits are expected to be most vulnerable to reductions in water availability. This prediction is mostly based on studies assessing single forest functions, mainly growth. Water and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00572-019-00887-1
Abstract: Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) symbiosis is essential for the survival of both host trees and associated ECM fungi. However, during conservation activities of endangered tree species, their ECM symbionts are largely ignored. Here, we investigated ECM fungi… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00572-024-01137-9
Abstract: Trees form symbioses with ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi, maintained in part through mutual benefit to both organisms. Our understanding of the signaling events leading to the successful interaction between the two partners requires further study. This… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13199-021-00792-2
Abstract: The association between ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi and trees is at the heart of forest ecosystems. Nowadays, this association is increasingly facing pressures resulting from anthropogenic activities, impacting the structure, biodiversity and functions of ECM fungal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.17529
Abstract: Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi are important tree symbionts within forests. The biogeography of ECM fungi remains to be investigated because it is challenging to observe and identify species. Because most ECM plant taxa have a Holarctic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/aem.00719-19
Abstract: In this study, we revealed the molecular mechanism and possible strategies of A. pantherina with weak weathering potential in the uptake of insoluble mineral nutrients by using transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) technology and found that ApHAK1,… read more here.

DOI: 10.14203/jbi.v14i2.3741
Abstract: ABSTRACT The existence of Pinus sp. is very dependent on ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi. ECM fungi affect the growth of their hosts especially by increasing mineral availability and water intake. However ECM fungi is not the… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.1007935
Abstract: Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi are among the most diverse and dominant fungal groups in temperate forests and are crucial for ecosystem functioning of forests and their resilience toward disturbance. We carried out DNA metabarcoding of ECM… read more here.
