Researchers are learning more about how the fungus coexists with the morning glory, and their findings are a real trip.

It started with a seed coat and a little fuzz. At West Virginia University (WVU), Corinne Hazel, an undergraduate major in ...

In such habitats it is not surprising that many achlorophyllous (lacking chlorophyll), as well as green, orchids depend on specific mycorrhizal fungal symbionts to supply them with carbohydrates ...

In a paper now published in The Plant Journal, the Kobe University team shows that when the orchid happens to grow close to rotten wood, it shifts its fungal symbionts to those that decompose the ...

In order to become a parasite, the orchids need to switch from their usual symbionts to different fungi in order to handle this increased amount of food. The appropriate fungi only occur around ...

As reward the host plant transfers anywhere from 4 to 20 percent of its photosynthetically fixed carbon to these mycorrhizal symbionts. "We think these fungi have the potential to increase the ...

The fungi that Matsuura discovered in the cicadas ... “The big picture is a tapestry of diverse microbial symbionts arriving and departing,” says Nancy Moran from the University of Texas ...

"Even when we applied mold fungi to the beetle's eggs ... Antibiotic-producing symbionts dynamically transition between plant pathogenicity and insect-defensive mutualism, Nature Communications ...

the role of fungal symbionts in host health and diseases and the underlying molecular mechanisms are still unknown.” One barrier to studying gut fungi is that many species do not grow well in ...
