The development of ectomycorrhizae (EM), a symbiotic association between roots of woody gymnosperms (e.g., Pinaceae) and ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF), involves dramatic changes in root and hyphal morphology and biochemistry which are tightly regulated in response to molecular signals (Martin & Hilbert, 1991; Isidorov et al., 2008; Liao et al., 2016). There is emerging evidence that secondary metabolites (SM), in particular flavonoids, terpenes, phytohormones, and sterols can affect EM colonization (Hanna & Patrycja, 2011).
