Abstract
From the saprotrophs that decay plant material to the pathogens and mutualists that shape plant population dynamics at local and regional scales, fungi are major drivers of ecosystem health, plant productivity, and sustainability in all major biomes (1 - 5). The ecological roles of such fungi are driven by their own genomic and epigenetic architecture, as well as that of their hosts, often with strong influences from the environmental context in which such interactions occur (1 - 9).
