A new study led by the University of Oxford has used a modeling approach to show that it is unlikely that plants would evolve ...

The findings suggest that plants are more likely to passively “eavesdrop” on their neighbors through shared fungal networks.

Mycorrhizae, the symbiotic associations between plant roots and certain fungi, are critical components of plant resilience in ...

Now, an international study has produced the first global map of the "mycorrhizal fungi networks" dominating this secretive world. Details appear in Nature journal. Using machine-learning ...

A new study has used a modelling approach to show that it is unlikely that plants would evolve to warn other plants of impending attack. Instead of using their communication networks to transmit ...

Networks emerge because mycorrhizal fungi form symbiotic partnerships with plant roots, through which the plants receive nutrients and the fungi receive carbon. It has been demonstrated that plant ...
