Examples
“Alternatively, inoculations of a disturbed site with native or exotic fungi facilitate formation of mycorrhizae in a shorter period, given certain circumstances.”
“This has been associated with advances in different research⟳ disciplines such as genetics, genomics, proteomics, metabolomics and physiology, advances which have⟳ generated better insight into topics of mycorrhizal biology, including the mechanisms of host-mycorrhiza interactions pre- and post-penetration, the influence⟳ of the symbiosis on the host⟳ and its surroundings, and the evolution and diversity of mycorrhization.”
“In total, mycorrhizae are responsible for helping source the nutrients for about 80 per cent of all modern plant⟳ species.”
