The establishment of Populus x Laccaria bicolor ectomycorrhiza requires the inactivation of MYC2 coordinated defense response with a key role for root terpene synthases

This paper shows that MYC2.1 and MYC2.2 transcription factors in poplar repress defense genes, including terpene synthases, which are critical for Laccaria bicolor to establish ectomycorrhizal symbiosis.

Molecular basis of differential adventitious rooting competence in poplar genotypes

The paper identifies molecular differences in adventitious rooting competence between two poplar genotypes and shows that MYC2 expression levels influence rooting ability.

Genetic determinants of endophytism in the Arabidopsis root mycobiome

The paper identifies genetic factors associated with endophytism in Arabidopsis root fungi, showing specific gene families linked to aggressive colonization and plant health.

The ectomycorrhizal basidiomycete Laccaria bicolor releases a GH28 polygalacturonase that plays a key role in symbiosis establishment

This study identifies LbGH28A, a polygalacturonase from Laccaria bicolor, as essential for ectomycorrhiza formation by degrading pectin in fungal and plant cell walls during symbiosis.

A comprehensive collection of transcriptome data to support life cycle analysis of the poplar rust fungus Melampsora larici-populina

Infrared fiber optic spectroscopy detects bovine articular cartilage degeneration

This study uses FTIR-ATR spectroscopy to detect cartilage degeneration in bovine samples, showing high classification accuracy with machine learning models.

Target Of Rapamycin pathway in the white-rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium

This study investigates the TOR pathway in Phanerochaete chrysosporium, showing its role in growth regulation and secreted protein content under rapamycin treatment.

The hydrophobin-like OmSSP1 may be an effector in the ericoid mycorrhizal symbiosis

The paper identifies OmSSP1 as a secreted protein in ericoid mycorrhizal fungi that may function as an effector in symbiosis with Vaccinium myrtillus roots.
