Plant protein needs adaptor to promote symbiosis with fungi: Research reveals the molecular mechanism

Most land plants form mutually beneficial symbioses with fungi. The plant and the fungus exchange vital nutrients. A team led by Prof. Dr. Caroline Gutjahr at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology has uncovered a molecular mechanism that enables nutrient exchange between plants and fungi.
