Rhizophagus irregularis DAOM 181602=DAOM 197198 Assembly and Gene Annotation

About Rhizophagus irregularis DAOM 181602=DAOM 197198 (GCA_000439145)

Rhizophagus irregularis (previously known as Glomus intraradices) is an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus used as a soil inoculant in agriculture and horticulture. In addition, it is one of the best mycorrhizal varieties of fungi available to mycoforestry, but as it does not produce fruiting bodies it
"has virtually no market value as an edible or medicinal mushroom
"

Rhizophagus irregularis is also commonly used in scientific studies of the effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on plant and soil improvement.

Recent molecular analysis of Ribosomal DNA suggested that Glomus intraradices is not in fact in the genus Glomus at all, and should be renamed Rhizophagus intraradices.
