TLDR
In this article, a set of 88 Glomales SSU rRNA gene sequences from 58 isolates was analysed, comprising 39 species. But the results show that most of the primers published in earlier studies are not useful at the proposed taxonomic level.About:

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coevolution of roots and mycorrhizas of land plants
TL;DR: It is hypothesised that roots gradually evolved from rhizomes to provide more suitable habitats for mycorrhizal fungi and provide plants with complex branching and leaves with water and nutrients.
Journal ArticleDOI
The contribution of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in sustainable maintenance of plant health and soil fertility
TL;DR: This review discusses the mechanism by which benefits are conferred through abiotic and biotic interactions in the rhizosphere of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and has had an impact in landscape regeneration, horticulture, alleviation of desertification and in the bioremediation of contaminated soils.

TL;DR: A new database, MaarjAM, that summarizes publicly available Glomeromycota DNA sequence data and associated metadata is described to facilitate the description of distribution and richness patterns in this group of fungi.

The neighbor-joining method: a new method for reconstructing phylogenetic trees.
Naruya Saitou,Masatoshi Nei +1 more
TL;DR: The neighbor-joining method and Sattath and Tversky's method are shown to be generally better than the other methods for reconstructing phylogenetic trees from evolutionary distance data.
Journal ArticleDOI
A simple method for estimating evolutionary rates of base substitutions through comparative studies of nucleotide sequences.
TL;DR: Some examples were worked out using reported globin sequences to show that synonymous substitutions occur at much higher rates than amino acid-altering substitutions in evolution.
