Fungal symbiont Mycena complements impaired nitrogen utilization in Gastrodia elata and supplies indole-3-acetic acid to facilitate its seed germination
Nitrogen and auxin are critical for seed germination and development, but the fully mycoheterotrophic plant Gastrodia elata relies entirely on its symbiotic fungus Mycena for early growth. Genomic ana...

I had a wonderful lunch with Dr. Vincent Merckx! Thanks @vincentmerckx.bsky.social (I'm sorry my English is poor...).

Long‐Term Soil Warming Drives Different Belowground Responses in Arbuscular Mycorrhizal and Ectomycorrhizal Trees
Using a 20-year-long soil warming experiment, we found that the belowground responses of temperate forest trees to warming varied depending on tree mycorrhizal type. Specifically, trees associating w...

Did you know that orchids have a big chunk of fungal mtDNA stuck in their own mitochondrial genomes?? In this new preprint, we found that fungal-derived tRNAs are functional in the orchid mitochondria.

Two weeks ago Dr Sandy Hetherington's paper on the importance of #fossils in understanding the #evolution of #plant development got released. I did a series of plant restorations for it, which I haven't been able to properly show off yet, so here's a thread on them all!! #FossilFriday #paleoart
