This research explores the cooperative relationships between plants and mycorrhizal fungi, focusing on how they negotiate nutrient exchanges. It aims to understand the dynamics of these interactions and the factors that maintain cooperation within these underground networks.
Throughout the Earth’s history, the mutualism between plants and their fungal partners has mediated nutrient cycles and energy flow in ecosystems.
Underground, mycorrhizal fungi and plant roots form vast networks of connected individuals, in which sugars from roots are exchanged for nutrients from fungi.How is cooperation maintained in plant-fungal networks?
Selfish individuals can potentially exploit the collaboration, reaping nutrient benefits while paying no costs.
So, why cooperate at all?I…
