Biology Society honours AcademiaNet member
The AcademiaNet scientist secures a 1.5 Mio. € grant to support her research on mycorrhiza.
Symbioses with mycorrhizal fungi provide plants with enhanced access to resources. Caroline Gutjahr's team at LMU Munich now discovered a mechanism that may allow host plants to control the extent of symbiosis formation.
