🌳 There is a weak growth-survival trade-off among temperate tree species. No clear evidence of this trade-off was found in early developed stands, while late developmental stands showed a stronger positive association between species’ growth and survival🌍

Excited to share our newest article, out in BMC Genomics!

We looked at genomes of a bunch of Pezizomycetes without & without associations with fire to figure out how Rhizina undulata survives fire 🔥

R. undulata needs high temperatures for germination = fire is important for its life cycle 🔥
The different species considered in this study, including those with and without known associations with fire, particularly in post-fire environments.

Coming to the @egu.eu General Assembly in 2026? Consider submitting an abstract to our mycorrhizae session if you are working on these organisms and their linkages to ecosystem functioning. Last year, this new session was a huge hit, so let's make year two even better!

New paper!
I'm particularly excited about it
We know very little about mycorrhizal fungi invasions, and our idea was that the few that could do free living, would be better at invading
As often happens in science, we were wrong & learned a lot:)

Our cover for November! 🧫

Rodríguez-Uña et al. (2025) reveal that trees can maintain water uptake during drought by drawing from deeper soil layers, but dry conditions reduce the diversity of their root-associated fungi—threatening vital ecosystem processes.

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.
