Scientists have developed two powerful molecular tools that reveal how plants and fungi coordinate one of Earth’s oldest biological partnerships.
A plant’s root system has a profound effect on its overall health. Look at the roots of a sick, struggling plant, and you will often see a sick, struggling root system. While plants may tolerate ...
It is easy to study what you can see. Researchers know a lot about how plants work aboveground, but what happens out of sight under the surface may control more than we once thought. It is easy to ...
