The Ectomycorrhizal Symbiosis: a Marriage of Convenience

  • Chapter
Plant Relationships

Part of the book series: The Mycota ((MYCOTA,volume 5))

Abstract

Mutualistic ectomycorrhizal symbionts are of major importance as drivers of ecological function and evolutionary processes in forest ecosystems. Within days after their emergence in the upper soil profiles, such as the organic humus and mor layer, most of the short roots of shrubs and trees are colonized by ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi (Taylor et al. 2000; Ruess et al. 2003; Adams et al. 2006). In this symbiotic relationship, the running, branching filaments of the soil fungus encounter host root tips, ramify between cells in the root’s outer layers, form a sheath around the root and radiate outwards into the surrounding soil and litter, forming extensive intermingling hyphal webs (Horan et al. 1988; Selosse et al. 2006).
