Journal ArticleDOI

Convergent losses of decay mechanisms and rapid turnover of symbiosis genes in mycorrhizal mutualists.

Annegret Kohler, +62 more
- 01 Apr 2015 - 
TL;DR: Convergent evolution of the mycorrhizal habit in fungi occurred via the repeated evolution of a 'symbiosis toolkit', with reduced numbers of PCWDEs and lineage-specific suites of myCorrhiza-induced genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

The mycorrhiza helper bacteria revisited

TL;DR: Clear evidence is presented suggesting that some MHB promote the functioning of the mycorrhizal symbiosis, and this is illustrated for three critical functions of practical significance: nutrient mobilization from soil minerals, fixation of atmospheric nitrogen, and protection of plants against root pathogens.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bacterial-Fungal Interactions: Hyphens between Agricultural, Clinical, Environmental, and Food Microbiologists

TL;DR: It is shown that in many cases, parallels can be drawn between different scenarios in which bacterial-fungal interactions are important, and how new avenues of investigation may enhance the ability to combat, manipulate, or exploit bacterial- fungal complexes for the economic and practical benefit of humanity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oak genome reveals facets of long lifespan.

Christophe Plomion, +67 more
- 18 Jun 2018 - 
TL;DR: Through this case study of oak, the accumulation and transmission of somatic mutations and the expansion of disease-resistance gene families in trees are demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Friends and foes: streptomycetes as modulators of plant disease and symbiosis.

TL;DR: It is argued towards the use of an integrated screening approach in the search for efficient biocontrol agents, including assays on in-vitro antagonism, plant growth, and disease suppression, to avoid strains that select for virulent pathogens or enhance disease development.
