abstract = {The most frequently encountered symbiont on tree roots is the ascomycete Cenococcum geophilum, the only mycorrhizal species within Dothideomycetes, a class known for devastating plant pathogens. Here we show that the symbiotic genomic idiosyncrasies of ectomycorrhizal basidiomycetes are also present in C. geophilum with symbiosis-induced, taxon-specific genes of unknown function and reduced numbers of plant cell wall-degrading enzymes. C. geophilum still holds a significant set of genes in categories known to be involved in pathogenesis and shows an increased genome size due to transposable elements proliferation. Transcript profiling indicates that C. geophilum likely plays a role in host tree water relations by increased expression of water channels but also by activating biotic-stress related genes known to prime for an enhanced adaptation to drought. The omnipresence of this symbiont on tree roots and its impact on host plant water metabolism call for further studies on mechanisms of host and environmental adaptation.}
