Abstract: Trees form symbioses with ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi, maintained in part through mutual benefit to both organisms. Our understanding of the signaling events leading to the successful interaction between the two partners requires further study. This… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2103527119
Abstract: Significance Plant genomes encode hundreds of genes controlling the detection, signaling pathways, and immune responses necessary to defend against pathogens. Pathogens, in turn, continually evolve to evade these defenses. Small RNAs, such as microRNAs (miRNAs),… read more here.
