In symbiosis: Plants control the genetics of microbes | EurekAlert! Science News
E-Mail IMAGE: Each spore contains hundreds of nuclei. The image was generated using confocal microscopy. The bright spots within the spores represent nuclei labelled with fluorescent dye. Images are colour coded along... view more Credit: University of Ottawa/ Microscope Laboratory (Ottawa-RDC, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada) Researchers from the University of Ottawa have discovered that plants may be able to control the genetics of their intimate root symbionts - the organism with which they live in symbiosis - thereby providing a better understanding of their growth. In additi...
