Mucoromycotina fine root endophyte engages in a nutritionally mutualistic symbiosis with Arabidopsis thaliana.
This study demonstrates that a wild-isolated MFRE strain, Lyc-1, successfully colonizes Arabidopsis roots under monoaxenic conditions without affecting plant growth and establishes Arabidopsis as a genetically tractable model to study plant-fungal symbiosis, thereby opening new opportunities to dissect the molecular ba...
