Nature is filled with fascinating examples of symbiotic relationships, where different species rely on each other to thrive. These partnerships often evolve over millions of years, creating a delicate ...

STARKVILLE, Miss.—A Mississippi State faculty member’s work on symbiosis—a mutually beneficial relationship between living organisms—is pushing back against the newer theory of a “single-origin” of ...

Scientists use small peptides to enhance symbiosis between plants and fungi, offering a sustainable alternative to artificial fertilizers. Plant biologists discover new plant molecule, CLE16, as well ...

Industrial farming practices often deplete the soil of important nutrients and minerals, leaving farmers to rely on artificial fertilizers to support plant growth. In fact, fertilizer use has more ...

A study on medicinal plants published in Cell highlights the symbiotic relationship between humans and plant species, particularly in the context of medicine. This relationship, which spans millennia, ...

Symbiotic and pathogenic fungi that interact with plants are distantly related and don’t share many genetic similarities. Comparing plant pathogenic fungi and plant symbiotic fungi, scientists at the ...
