The Neotropical katydid, Arota festae, displays a gradual pink-to-green color change that mimics the delayed greening of local plants! 🧪 esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

🧬How do mycorrhizal symbioses shape plant plasticity across generations? Epigenetic regulation may fine-tune these mutualisms, modulating plant responses and potentially transmitting adaptive legacies shaped by host lifespan and reproduction mode.⬇️ nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Epigenetic regulation of mycorrhizal symbioses: from plastic responses to transgenerational legacies

Mycorrhizal symbioses represent one of the most widespread and ecologically significant plant–microbe interactions, shaping plant nutrition, stress resilience, and ecosystem functioning. Beyond their...

🍇 SPECIAL ISSUE REVIEW 🍇 Velaz et al present a review of establishment of grapevine–arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi interaction from the nursery to the vineyard, incl the biotic and abiotic factors affecting them and their potential use as biostimulants. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/jxb/... #PlantScience 🧪

Fig. 4.Schematic representation of the effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal inoculation of grapevines under controlled (left) and field (right) conditions. A green arrow indicates enhancement, a red arrow indicates diminution, and the equals sign indicates no change of the measured feature when comparing inoculated versus non-inoculated vines.
