A specific understanding of this symbiosis could offer improvements in multiple directions. On the fungi side, underground ...

Bai Yongfei from the Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), in collaboration with partners, has highlighted the critical role of mycorrhizal symbiosis in enhancing soil ...

What is the Rhizosphere and how can understanding rhizosphere processes help feed the world and save the environment? This article will review the critical biogeochemical processes occurring at ...

Fungal networks in the ground ferry crucial nutrients to plants. But how do brainless organisms form complex supply chain networks?

Mycorrhizal fungi are the supply chains of the soil. With filaments thinner than hair, they shuttle vital nutrients to plants and tree roots. In return, the fungi receive carbon to grow their ...

Scientists have developed a method that uses robotics to track the connections between plants and the mycorrhizal fungi that ...

Scientists have developed a specialized imaging robot to track plant-fungal trade networks, revealing nature’s underground ...

Researchers led by Prof. WANG Xugao from the Institute of Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with international colleagues, have proposed a new biological hypothesis ...
