Endophytic and ectomycorrhizal, an overlooked dual ecological niche? Insights from natural environments and Russula species

The paper investigates endophytic colonization by ectomycorrhizal fungi in non-host plants, finding evidence of dual ecological niches and suggesting evolutionary implications.

Seed or soil: tracing back the plant mycobiota primary sources.

This study quantifies vertical and horizontal transmission of mycobiota in Haloxylon salicornicum by comparing soil, seeds, and plant tissues.

Structure and specialization of mycorrhizal networks in phylogenetically diverse tropical communities

The paper investigates mycorrhizal networks in tropical plant communities, finding that fungal specialization varies by lineage and that fungi are shared among phylogenetically distant plants.

Do closely related species interact with similar partners? Testing for phylogenetic signal in bipartite interaction networks

The paper evaluates two methods for detecting phylogenetic signal in bipartite interaction networks and recommends using network permutations for significance testing.

Global drivers of obligate mycorrhizal symbionts diversification

The paper analyzes diversification dynamics of Glomeromycotina fungi using molecular data and sensitivity analyses, finding a decline in speciation rates over the past 500 million years.

The genomic impact of mycoheterotrophy: targeted gene losses but extensive expression reprogramming.

This study compares transcriptomes of mycoheterotrophic orchids to autotrophic species, revealing gene losses in photosynthesis and expression reprogramming in metabolic pathways.

Cheating emergences in the arbuscular mycorrhizal mutualism: a network and phylogenetic analysis

The paper analyzes the evolution and specialization of mycoheterotrophic cheating plants and their fungal partners in a global network, revealing constraints on cheating emergence through fungal specialization.
