Organization of genetic variation in individuals of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi.

Nature - 19 Feb 2004

Pawlowska Teresa E, Taylor John W

Abstract excerpt

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi (Glomeromycota) are thought to be the oldest group of asexual multicellular organisms. They colonize the roots of most land plants, where they facilitate mineral uptake from the soil in exchange for plant-assimilated carbon. Cells of AM fungi contain hundreds of nuclei. Unusual polymorphism of ribosomal DNA observed in individual spores of AM fungi inspired a hypothesis that...
