Laser microdissection and microarray analysis of T uber melanosporum ectomycorrhizas reveal functional heterogeneity between mantle and H artig net compartments
10 Jan 2013
Abstract excerpt
The ectomycorrhizal (ECM) symbiosis, a mutualistic plant-fungus association, plays a fundamental role in forest ecosystems by enhancing plant growth and by providing host protection from root diseases. The cellular complexity of the symbiotic organ, characterized by the differentiation of structurally specialized tissues (i.e. the fungal mantle and the Hartig net), is the major limitation to study fungal gene...
