Nature
. 2024 Apr;
629(8013):843-850.
PMID: 38658746
Angiosperms are the cornerstone of most terrestrial ecosystems and human livelihoods. A robust understanding of angiosperm evolution is required to explain their rise to ecological dominance. So far, the angiosperm...

Nat Plants
. 2024 Apr;
10(5):710-718.
PMID: 38641664
The prevalence and potential functions of common mycorrhizal networks, or the 'wood-wide web', resulting from the simultaneous interaction of mycorrhizal fungi and roots of different neighbouring plants have been increasingly...

New Phytol
. 2023 Nov;
242(4):1825-1834.
PMID: 37929750
Quantifying the abundances of fungi is key to understanding natural variation in mycorrhizal communities in relation to plant ecophysiology and environmental heterogeneity. High-throughput metabarcoding approaches have transformed our ability to...

Merckx V, Gomes S
Curr Biol
. 2023 Jun;
33(11):R463-R465.
PMID: 37279673
Merckx and Gomes introduce mycoheterotrophy, the ability of a plant to take up its carbon from a close fungal partner.

Garrett N, Viruel J, Klimpert N, Soto Gomez M, Lam V, Merckx V, et al.
Am J Bot
. 2023 Feb;
110(4):e16141.
PMID: 36779918
Premise: Species in Thismiaceae can no longer photosynthesize and instead obtain carbon from soil fungi. Here we infer Thismiaceae phylogeny using plastid genome data and characterize the molecular evolution of...

Lin Q, Braukmann T, Soto Gomez M, Mayer J, Pinheiro F, Merckx V, et al.
New Phytol
. 2022 Jun;
236(5):1908-1921.
PMID: 35731179
Fully mycoheterotrophic plants can be difficult to place in plant phylogeny due to elevated substitution rates associated with photosynthesis loss. This potentially limits the effectiveness of downstream analyses of mycoheterotrophy...

Gomes S, Fortuna M, Bascompte J, Merckx V
New Phytol
. 2022 Jun;
235(5):2034-2045.
PMID: 35706373
How mycoheterotrophic plants that obtain carbon and soil nutrients from fungi are integrated in the usually mutualistic arbuscular mycorrhizal networks is unknown. Here, we compare autotrophic and mycoheterotrophic plant associations...

MycoKeys
. 2022 Feb;
87:53-76.
PMID: 35210922
is one of the most important fungal genera of plant pathogens that affect the cultivation of a wide range of crops. Agricultural losses caused by Fusariumoxysporumf.sp.cubense () directly affect the...

Sci Rep
. 2021 May;
11(1):11287.
PMID: 34050223
Epiphytic orchids exhibit varying degrees of phorophyte tree specificity. We performed a pilot study to investigate why epiphytic orchids prefer or avoid certain trees. We selected two orchid species, Panisea...

PMID: 33932029
Mycorrhizal fungi are central to the biology of land plants. However, to what extent mycorrhizal shifts - broad evolutionary transitions in root-associated fungal symbionts - are related to changes in...
