We all know plants need water and sunlight to stay alive, but what if the key to thriving in extreme environments lies in the ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and dark-septate endophytic (DSE) fungi were quantified in plant roots from high-elevation sites in the Cordillera Vilcanota of the Andes (Perú) and the Front Range of the ...

Symbiotic microorganisms, such as mycorrhizal fungi, are known to associate with most plants; however members of the Cruciferae are an exception. We investigated nutrient exchange between a dark ...

Grocott silver staining showed septate, dichotomously branched hyphae measuring 2.5 to 3.5 μm in diameter — findings characteristic of aspergillus (Figure 1B).
