Coevolution can be a potent force in maintaining and generating biological diversity.
Although coevolution is likely to have played a key role in the early development of …

Plant tissues host a variety of fungi. One important group is the dark septate endophytes
(DSEs) that colonize plant roots and form characteristic intracellular structures–melanized …

Processes governing the fixation, partitioning, and mineralization of carbon in soils are
under increasing scrutiny as we develop a more comprehensive understanding of global …

Native tallgrass prairies support distinct dark septate endophyte (DSE) communities
exemplified by Periconia macrospinosa and Microdochium sp. that were recently identified …

A greenhouse experiment was used to study the effects of host genotype on short root
formation and ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal community structure in Norway spruce (Picea …

The growing field of community and ecosystem genetics indicates that plant genotype and
genotypic variation are important for structuring communities and ecosystem processes …

In natural environments, tree roots are almost always in intimate, symbiotic association with
particular species of fungi through the formation of mycorrhizae. Most mycorrhizal fungi …

Investigations on host affiliations, seasonal variation and physiological response to drought
tolerance of dark septate endophytes (DSE) in extremely arid desert environments can help …

We surveyed the non-mycorrhizal model plant Arabidopsis thaliana microscopically for its
ability to form dark septate endophyte (DSE) symbioses in field, greenhouse, and laboratory …

The impact of ectomycorrhiza formation on the secretion of exoenzymes by the host plant
and the symbiont is unknown. Thirty-eight F1 individuals from an interspecific Populus …
