Here, the coevolution of mycorrhizal fungi and roots is assessed in the light of evidence now
available, from palaeobotanical and morphological studies and the analysis of DNA‐based …

The internal transcribed spacers (ITS) of the nuclear ribosomal 18S–5.8 S–26S cistron
continue to be the most popular non-plastid region for species-level phylogenetic studies of …

We have optimized a simple and rapid preparation procedure for mushroom DNA extraction
from colonies on media or from fruiting bodies for PCR amplification. The protocol combines …

Biogeography of ectomycorrhizal fungi associated with alders (Alnus spp.) in relation to biotic
and abiotic variables at the glo Page 1 Biogeography of ectomycorrhizal fungi associated with …

The nuclear ribosomal locus coding for the large subunit is represented in tandem arrays in
the plant genome. These consecutive gene blocks, consisting of several regions, are widely …

Aim Current evidence from temperate studies suggests that ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi
require overland routes for migration because of their obligate symbiotic associations with …

Peltigera (Peltigerineae, lichenized Ascomycota) is one of the most widespread lichen
genera incorporating bi-and trimembered associations involving fungi, green algae (cf …

The fungal genus Pisolithus is cosmopolitan in warm temperate regions and forms
ectomycorrhizal associations with a wide range of woody plants. To delimit phylogenetic …

Species delimitation is one of the most fundamental processes in biology. Biodiversity
undertakings, for instance, require explicit species concepts and criteria for species …

The reality of the eastern Asian–eastern North American disjunct biogeographic pattern is
supported by (1) the occurrence of closely related species in many plant genera in these two …
