Populus MYC2 Orchestrates Root Transcriptional Reprogramming of Defence Pathway to Impair Laccaria bicolor Ectomycorrhizal Development

Scientists highlighted the significance of poplar MYC2s and terpenes in mutualistic symbiosis by controlling root fungal colonization. They identified poplar genes in which direct or indirect control by MYC2 is required for ECM establishment.
