Argon-ion beam induced mutants of the ectomycorrhizal agaricomycete Tricholoma matsutake defective in β-1,4 endoglucanase activity promote the seedling growth of Pinus densiflora in vitro

Tricholoma matsutake is an ectomycorrhizal agaricomycete that produces the prized matsutake mushroom in conifer forests. Here, we isolated mutants generated by the argon-ion beam irradiation of T. ...
