Plants have developed mechanisms to fight pathogenic bacterial infection, but in the beneficial symbiotic association, entry of the nitrogen-fixing bacteria is accepted. The legume-symbiotic rhizobia ...
Mycorrhizal fungi form one of the most widespread and ancient symbiotic associations with land plants, underpinning critical ecosystem functions. Through intricate mutualistic relationships, these ...
Susceptibility of their microbial partners to the herbicide may be an underestimated weak spot of insects that could add to their decline. Saw-toothed grain beetles live in a symbiotic association ...
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 ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have uncovered a master transcriptional regulator that controls rhizobial symbiosis between plants and nitrogen-fixing bacteria. By identifying an amino acid motif ...
Many models of mutualisms show that mutualisms are unstable if hosts lack mechanisms enabling preferential associations with mutualistic symbiotic partners over exploitative partners. Despite the ...
The symbiotic microorganisms were found in water samples collected in field experiments at station ALOHA in the subtropical North Pacific. (Photo by Kendra Turk-Kubo, UCSC) Scientists have discovered ...
