Despite their paramount role in plant life, the study of roots has been largely neglected until
recently. Here, I shortly describe a few newly-discovered abilities of plants to undergo …

Cord-forming fungi form extensive networks that continuously adapt to maintain an efficient
transport system. As osmotically driven water uptake is often distal from the tips, and …

In order to quantify the contribution of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi to plant phosphorus
nutrition, the development and extent of the external fungal mycelium and its nutrient uptake …

Most fungi grow by developing complex networks that enable the translocation of nutrients
over large distances. Spatially explicit mathematical models are able to capture both the …

Whether through root secretions or by emitting volatile organic compounds, plant
communication has been well-documented. While electrical activity has been documented …

The white-rot fungus, Physisporinus vitreus, degrades the membranes of bordered pits in
tracheids and consequently increases the permeability of wood, which is a process that can …

Current models that describe the extension of fungal hyphae and development of a
mycelium either do not describe the role of vesicles in hyphal extension or do not correctly …

Fungi are agents of geochemical change in the environment and play important roles in the
soil, the plant-root zone, and in rock and mineral habitats. Modelling may serve as a tool to …
