Edible ectomycorrhizal mushrooms (EEMMs) comprise more than 1000 species and are an
important food and forest resource. In this volume of Soil Biology, internationally recognized …

… These clade designations are supported by multigene phylogenetic reconstructions of the
Tuberaceae based on rDNA, elongation factor 1 alpha, and RNA polymerase 2 (Bonito 2009b)…

… Primer pairs and their sequences were modified to contain a 10-bp DNA barcode on the A
primer in accordance with Bonito et al. [18] and presented in Table S1. Sequence reads have …

10.7554/eLife.47815.001 Mutualistic interactions between free-living algae and fungi are
widespread in nature and are hypothesized to have facilitated the evolution of land plants and …

Nitrogen (N) mineralization rates in forest systems typically decrease with decreasing
temperature. Temperature decreases with increasing elevation. Thus, N mineralization rates are …

Fungal mitospores may function as dispersal units and/ or spermatia and thus play a role in
distribution and/or mating of species that produce them. Mitospore production in …

… 1.1) (Smith and Bonito 2013). While there may be some commonalities among these fungi,
they are quite diverse in their morphology and ecology, and few generalities can be made …

Sequence analysis of the ribosomal RNA operon, particularly the internal transcribed spacer
(ITS) region, provides a powerful tool for identification of mycorrhizal fungi. The sequence …

We identified two poplar (Populus sp.)-associated microbes, the fungus, Mortierella elongata
strain AG77, and the bacterium, Burkholderia strain BT03, that mutually promote each other’…

Plant derived bioactive small molecules have attracted attention of scientists across
fundamental and applied scientific disciplines. We seek to understand the influence of these …
