Abstract Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are prominent root symbionts with a multinucleate cytoplasm that can carry thousands of nuclei deriving from two parental strains and varying in relative abundance large syncytium. Here, we set out to improve our understanding such remarkable genetics by resolving the nuclear genomes all publicly available AMF heterokaryons using PacBio HiFi Hi-C sequencing. We find sets homologous chromosomes, where genes associated plant colonization reside...
Geosiphon pyriformis, a representative of the fungal sub-phylum Glomeromycotina, is unique in its endosymbiosis with cyanobacteria within cell. This symbiotic relationship occurs bladders containing nuclei G. Mollicutes-like bacterial endosymbionts (MRE), and photosynthetically active dividing cells Nostoc punctiforme. Recent genome analyses have shed light on biology but content remain unexplored. To fill this gap, we gathered examined metagenomic data from where N. punctiforme MRE are...
