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 ...

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 ...

Frankia bacteria constitute a diverse group of soil actinomycetes renowned for their ability to establish symbiotic relationships with actinorhizal plants, enabling biological nitrogen fixation. This ...

How do symbioses between plants and fungi develop? How do plants decide whether or not to enter into a partnership with fungi? The team of Caroline Gutjahr, Director at the Max Planck Institute of ...

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, ...

Phosphorus is one of the most important nutrients for plants. Among other functions, it is needed to create substances for the plant's immune system, for the healthy development of seeds and for root ...

CDPKs (calcium-dependent protein kinases) are defined by a unique structural arrangement in which the kinase domain is fused to a C-terminal calmodulin-like regulatory domain. CDPKs are found in ...

It was interesting to learn of a suspected archaeal host responsible for its primal symbiosis with an aerobic bacterium. The theory of endosymbiosis for eukaryotic cell origins, controversially ...
