Microbial storage and its implications for soil ecology
Organisms throughout the tree of life accumulate chemical resources, in particular forms or
compartments, to secure their availability for future use. Here we review microbial storage …

Importance of molecular data to identify fungal plant pathogens and guidelines for pathogenicity testing based on Koch's postulates
Fungi are an essential component of any ecosystem, but they can also cause mild and
severe plant diseases. Plant diseases are caused by a wide array of fungal groups that …

Nitrogen acquisition from mineral‐associated proteins by an ectomycorrhizal fungus
In nitrogen (N)‐limited boreal forests, trees depend on the decomposing activity of their
ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal symbionts to access soil N. A large fraction of this N exists as …
