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.
