Arbuscular mycorrhiza: the mother of plant root endosymbioses.

TL;DR: During evolution, the genetic programme for AM has been recruited for other plant root symbioses: functional adaptation of a plant receptor kinase that is essential for AM symbiosis paved the way for nitrogen-fixing bacteria to form intracellular symbiosis with plant cells.

The Fungi: 1, 2, 3 … 5.1 million species?

TL;DR: Technological advances make it possible to apply molecular methods to develop a stable classification and to discover and identify fungal taxa, revealing a monophyletic kingdom and increased diversity among early-diverging lineages.

Insect pathogens as biological control agents: Back to the future.

TL;DR: Current information on development, use and future directions of insect-specific viruses, bacteria, fungi and nematodes as components of integrated pest management strategies for control of arthropod pests of crops, forests, urban habitats, and insects of medical and veterinary importance is presented.

454 Pyrosequencing analyses of forest soils reveal an unexpectedly high fungal diversity

TL;DR: This study validates the effectiveness of high-throughput 454 sequencing technology for the survey of soil fungal diversity and identified the Agaricomycetes as the dominant fungal class.

A new fungal phylum, the Glomeromycota: phylogeny and evolution

TL;DR: The ecologically and economically important arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, crucial in the ecology and physiology of land plants, and the endocytobiotic fungus, Geosiphon pyriformis, are phylogenetically analysed by their small subunit (SSU) rRNA gene sequences and placed into a new monophyletic phylum, the Glomeromycota.
