The paper identifies highly pathogenic Fusarium lineages in natural habitats that can infect wheat, highlighting regional variation in pathogenicity and colonization patterns.

This study shows that soil phosphate availability affects arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities and their role in wheat nutrition, with interactions between nitrogen and phosphorus influencing fungal colonization and transporter expression.

This study identifies VvLYK6 as a negative regulator of chitin-triggered immune responses in grapevine, increasing susceptibility to fungal infections.

This paper identifies a gene duplication-derived RLCK in Aeschynomene legumes that mediates Nod-independent rhizobial symbiosis, distinct from arbuscular mycorrhizal interactions.

The paper identifies a new group of LysM-RLK receptors that bind both LCO and CO, playing a complementary role with LYR-IA receptors in arbuscular mycorrhiza formation.

This study shows that LysM-RLKs in liverworts are involved in symbiosis and COs/LCOs perception, supporting their ancestral role in AM formation.

This study identifies genetic determinants shaping root mycobiota in durum wheat using GWAS and heritability analysis, revealing 11 QTLs and highlighting the role of fungal clades in plant-microbiota interactions.
