Abstract
In this chapter, we focus on the ECM symbiosis as the most important plant-fungal symbiosis in temperate forests and, possibly, in tropical forests.We also discuss recent advances in understanding the establishment of this interaction; how it is maintained by communication between partners; and how fungal research is now being impacted by genomics.
