Tuber melanosporum (Ascomycota, Pezizales) is an ectomycorrhizal fungus that produces highly appreciated hypogeous fruiting bodies called black truffles. The aim of this paper was to research the composition ectomycorrhiza-associated fungal and bacterial communities in T. oak plantations. Results showed competitive effect on other species, especially mycorrhizal pathogenic species. shown be ass...

Keyword extraction attracts much attention for its significant role in various natural language processing tasks. While some existing methods for keyword extraction have considered using single type of semantic relatedness between words or inherent attributes of words, almost all of them ignore two important issues: 1) how to fuse multiple types of semantic relations between words into a unifor...

In recent years, many private corporations and government organizations have digitized corpuses of legacy paper documents. Often, these organizations hope to take advantage of digital representations to transform costly manual tasks associated with paper archives into less-costly computer-assisted tasks. The most common approach toward automated information extraction is through inverted indexi...

This paper examines the differences between author generated keywords and automatically generated keywords in one area of scientific and technical literature. Using inverse frequency, keywords produced using both methods are examined using a maximum likelihood algorithm. By reducing the scope and size of the corpus of literature examined, this study more closely emulates the information gatheri...

The primary carbohydrate metabolism of an ectomycorrhizal fungus and its transcriptional regulation has never been characterized at the genome scale although it plays a fundamental role in the functioning of the symbiosis. In this study, the genome sequence of the ectomycorrhizal basidiomycete Laccaria bicolor S238N-H82 was explored to construct a comprehensive genome-wide inventory of pathways...
