Microbe tree metabolite interactions in the soil - phyllosphere continuum of poplar tree: when microbes rewire poplar root exudate and metabolome

This study tracks how microbial colonization alters root exudates and plant metabolomes in poplar cuttings over 30 days, revealing distinct metabolic responses in roots and shoots.

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.

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.

Colonization of naïve roots from Populus tremula x alba involves successive waves of fungi andbacteria with different trophic abilities

This study tracks the colonization of poplar roots by bacteria and fungi over time, revealing distinct colonization stages and shifts in microbial community composition.

Laccaria bicolor MiSSP8 is a small-secreted protein decisive for the establishment of the ectomycorrhizal symbiosis

This study identifies MiSSP8 as a small-secreted protein essential for early ectomycorrhizal symbiosis by regulating hyphal aggregation and pseudoparenchyma formation in Laccaria bicolor.

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.
