TLDR
It is demonstrated that MYCORRHIZAL iNDUCED SMALL SECRETED PROTEin 7 (MiSSP7), the most highly symbiosis-upregulated gene from the ectomycorrhizal fungus Laccaria bicolor, encodes an effector protein indispensible for the establishment of mutualism.

Hormonal Modulation of Plant Immunity

TL;DR: Evidence is emerging that beneficial root-inhabiting microbes also hijack the hormone-regulated immune signaling network to establish a prolonged mutualistic association, highlighting the central role of plant hormones in the regulation of plant growth and survival.

Induced systemic resistance by beneficial microbes

TL;DR: This review focuses on molecular processes at the interface between plant roots and ISR-eliciting mutualists, and on the progress in the understanding of ISR signaling and systemic defense priming.

The paleozoic origin of enzymatic lignin decomposition reconstructed from 31 fungal genomes

Dimitrios Floudas, +70 more
- 29 Jun 2012 - 
TL;DR: Comparative analyses of 31 fungal genomes suggest that lignin-degrading peroxidases expanded in the lineage leading to the ancestor of the Agaricomycetes, which is reconstructed as a white rot species, and then contracted in parallel lineages leading to brown rot and mycorrhizal species.

Mycorrhizal ecology and evolution: the past, the present, and the future

TL;DR: Large-scale molecular surveys have provided novel insights into the diversity, spatial and temporal dynamics of mycorrhizal fungal communities, and network theory makes it possible to analyze interactions between plant-fungal partners as complex underground multi-species networks.

Speak, friend, and enter: signalling systems that promote beneficial symbiotic associations in plants.

TL;DR: This Review describes the common signalling processes used by plants during mutualistic interactions with microorganisms as diverse as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and rhizobial bacteria.

A new mathematical model for relative quantification in real-time RT-PCR.

TL;DR: This study enters into the particular topics of the relative quantification in real-time RT-PCR of a target gene transcript in comparison to a reference gene transcript and presents a new mathematical model that needs no calibration curve.

Insights from the genome of the biotrophic fungal plant pathogen Ustilago maydis

Jörg Kämper, +80 more
- 02 Nov 2006 - 
TL;DR: The discovery of the secreted protein gene clusters and the functional demonstration of their decisive role in the infection process illuminate previously unknown mechanisms of pathogenicity operating in biotrophic fungi.

The genome of Laccaria bicolor provides insights into mycorrhizal symbiosis

TL;DR: The predicted gene inventory of the L. bicolor genome points to previously unknown mechanisms of symbiosis operating in biotrophic mycorrhizal fungi, providing an unparalleled opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of the processes by which symbionts interact with plants within their ecosystem to perform vital functions in the carbon and nitrogen cycles that are fundamental to sustainable plant productivity.

Targeting Malaria Virulence and Remodeling Proteins to the Host Erythrocyte

TL;DR: It is shown that a conserved pentameric sequence plays a central role in protein export into the host cell and the exported proteome in Plasmodium falciparum is predicted, with implications for the development of new antimalarials.

A translocation signal for delivery of oomycete effector proteins into host plant cells

TL;DR: Functional analyses of two motifs, RXLR and EER, present in translocated oomycete effectors are reported, showing that RXLR-EER-encoding genes are transcriptionally upregulated during infection and 425 potential genes encoding secreted RXLR/EER class proteins in the P. infestans genome are identified.
