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 ...

The natural process of arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis (AMS), in which plants exchange carbon for essential nutrients with fungi, is one way to overcome this challenge. Despite its importance ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi are among the most critical soil organisms, they form symbiotic associations with roots that helps many plants species to thrive. This spore of the arbuscular ...

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

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 ...

These fungi form symbiotic partnerships with plant roots ... Alternatively, the fungi in the mycorrhizal network may communicate an attack to other plants nearby, as it benefits the network ...
