Other claims from this paper (9)
- Method / resource The study provides a genome for the ERM fungus Meliniomyces bicolor.
- Method / resource The study provides a genome for M. variabilis.
- Method / resource The study provides a genome for Oidiodendron maius.
- Observation ERM fungal contents of genes for polysaccharide degradation, lipases and proteases resemble saprotrophs and pathogens more than ectomycorrhizal symbionts.
- Observation ERM fungal gene contents for secondary metabolism also resemble saprotrophs and pathogens more than ectomycorrhizal symbionts.
- Association Cell wall-degrading enzyme, lipase and protease genes were among fungal genes most upregulated in symbiosis.
- Association Transporter and MiSSP genes were also among fungal genes most upregulated in symbiosis.
- Observation The ERM fungal gene repertoire indicates capacity for both saprotrophic and biotrophic lifestyles.
- Mechanism The dual capacity may reflect incomplete transition to mycorrhiza or a versatile strategy like fungal endophytes.
