In the ectomycorrhizal symbiosis between fungi and trees, the fungus completely ensheaths the tree roots and takes over water and mineral nutrient supply, while the plant supplies photosynthate. Recent work has focussed on gene expression in the two partners, on the effects of global change and nitrogen deposition rate on the symbiosis, and on the role of mycorrhizal fungi in connecting individual plants to form a 'wood-wide web'.
在真菌与树木之间的外生菌根共生关系中，真菌完全包裹住树木根系并接管水分和矿物质养分的供应，而植物则提供光合产物。近期的研究工作聚焦于这两个共生伙伴中的基因表达、全球变化和氮沉降速率对这种共生关系的影响，以及菌根真菌在连接单株植物以形成“森林网络”中所起的作用。
