I had such fun thinking, reading and writing this Tansley Review on #arbuscular #mycorrhizal #fungal mycelia. We need a more fungal-centric view to better understand not only the AM fungi, but also their many ecological roles.

It’s been 14 years since I uploaded a video on YouTube showing that Striga does not infect other members of the Orobanchaceae family.JSPS Fellow Simon came to Japan and carried out mutant screening to find mechanism and it was 10 years ago that the mutant was finally obtained. A long journey.

Glucosylation of endogenous haustorium-inducing factors underpins kin avoidance in parasitic plants Parasitic plants rarely attack themselves, suggesting the existence of a kin-avoidance mechanism. In the root parasitic plant Phtheirospermum japonicum, prehaustorium formation is triggered by host-se...

Shining a light on dark taxa: new fungal phyla and classes revealed by eDNA long reads Researchers have used "innovative taxonomy" to describe more than 100 fungal taxa based on long reads, characteristic nucleotides and env-samples.

Using long-read sequences, DNA-based taxonomy, and phylogenetics, researchers described species higher taxa of the most common previously unrecognised fungal lineages.

高校生相手に教え魔おぢさんムーブをかましてしまった。反省。こうやって無自覚におぢになってしまうのか…。

輝かしい業績の人や素晴らしい研究を見ると果たして今の研究に価値なんてあるのか…と胞子懸濁液を作りながら思う出張最終日。明日も早起きして調査頑張るぞい。

New paper!
I am excited about it, since it has some very cool contributions on:
-Status of Invasive ectomycorrhizal fungi
-Definition of what is a invasive mycorhizal 🍄
-Cool picture of trees being brought from Europe in 1920!
