Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi form symbiotic relationships with plants, including widely cultivated crops, improving nutrient uptake (notably phosphorus and nitrogen), water absorption, and plant ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Mycorrhizal fungi significantly enhance soil organic carbon storage in grasslands by promoting plant diversity and increasing root biomass. Grasslands with ...

New research uses advanced robotics to track the hyper-efficient supply chains formed between plants and mycorrhizal fungi as they trade carbon and nutrients across the complex, living networks ...

New research published in the journal Nature on February 26, 2025, uses advanced robotics to track the hyper-efficient supply chains formed between plants and mycorrhizal fungi as they trade ...

New research has shed light on the symbiosis between plants and fungi, underscoring the importance of stress hormones in the process.

Professor Julia Vorholt's work has changed how we think about plant health. Her innovative research on plant microbiomes ...

Jim and Amy Crawford farm flowers, fruit and food at their regenerative farm, drawing on science and the synergy of nature.

Grasslands dominated by plants that depend on mycorrhizal fungi store notably more carbon than those with plants that don't depend on them as much. Additionally, as temperatures and rainfall ...

Oyarte Galvez et al. discovered that mycelial networks of several species of mycorrhizal fungus grow from the plant root with remarkable regularity in space and time. To explain these regular ...

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 ...
