A team co-led by a Purdue University researcher has found that groups of fungi influence global tree species in distinct ways ...

Two life forms living together helped spark the evolution of all complex life. By learning to appreciate this process more ...

Whether they are dry or fresh, mushrooms are natural sponges and are made up of 85-90% water.” That’s Monotub’s Waine Delaney, and this little explored fact is fast becoming a lifesaver for gardeners ...

Another group is called Ectomycorrhizae, making up approximately 10% of the plants. This encompasses the woody species such ...

Mycorrhizal fungi are vital to ecosystems around the world, but remain largely understudied, especially in arid regions. They ...

Mycorrhizal fungi help regulate the Earth's climate and ecosystems by forming underground networks that provide plants with essential nutrients, while drawing carbon deep into soils. Scientists and ...

Importantly, Mueller's team showed that many arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi also produce their own CLE16-like peptides, which also promoted symbiosis when added to the soil.

Arsenic exposure enhanced arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis in As-hyperaccumulator P. vittata, which is associated with its better growth and greater P uptake, ... These increases corresponded to 4.2- ...

Terrestrial plants form primarily mutualistic symbiosis with mycorrhizal fungi based on a compatible exchange of solutes between plant and fungal partners. A key attribute of this symbiosis is the ...

Evolutionary dynamics of mycorrhizal symbiosis in land plant diversification Trait data and analysis This repository holds trait data data and scripts for part of the methods of the manuscript ...
