UMR Interactions Arbres

Introduction Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi serve as crucial mutualistic partners within temperate and certain tropical forest ecosystems, facilitating the provision of water and nutrients to the host trees (van der Heijden et al., 2015; Tedersoo et al., 2020). Given the frequent nutrient limitations in forest soils that impede plant growth, most forest tree species depend on ECM-fungal symbiosis for their nutritional needs. Consequently, c.

The chemical language between plants and microbes, also known as interspecies chemical communication, is a sophisticated system of signal exchange involving a diverse array of molecular compounds that regulate and mediate complex host–microbe interactions and drive high-level biological organization.

Mycorrhizal symbioses are complex relationships between plants and fungi that significantly affect ecosystem dynamics and functions across terrestrial environments. These symbiotic interactions, which involve a diverse range of fungal lineages, including Mucoromycotina, Glomeromycotina, Ascomycota, and Basidiomycota, as well as various plant hosts, are critical for nutrient cycling, carbon sequestration, plant growth, and resilience of both partners to environmental stressors.
