Mycoheterotrophy

The Biology of Plants Living on Fungi

Edición de Vincent Merckx ...

Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
Over the course of evolution, several plant lineages have found ways to obtain water, minerals, and carbohydrates from fungi. Some plants are able exploit fungi to such an extent that they lose the need for photosynthesis. The ability of a plant to live on fungal carbon is known as mycoheterotrophy. This intriguing process has fascinated botanists for centuries, yet many aspects of ... Leer más
