    • Glomeromycetes are an important group of fungi that live in close symbiotic association with the roots of trees and plants.
    • The glomeromycetes do not reproduce sexually and cannot survive without the presence of plant roots.
    • This analysis shows that all glomeromycetes probably descended from a common ancestor 462 and 353 million years ago, making them a monophyletic lineage.
  • Mutualistic Relationships with Fungi and Fungivores

    • In a second type, the Glomeromycete fungi form vesicular–arbuscular interactions with arbuscular mycorrhiza (sometimes called endomycorrhizae).
