- Reposted by Manjeet DhullWe’ve posted a new preprint providing evidence that endophytic fungi facilitate resource transfer through common mycelial networks. A neat aspect of our study is that we measured fungal functional changes when connected to more than one plant, not just the plants! doi.org/10.21203/rs....

- Reposted by Manjeet DhullTurns out fungi aren’t as plastic as we might think, their responses to grazers are much more species-specific. Very cool work from the fungal wizard @aguilart.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
- Reposted by Manjeet Dhull✨ It was a pleasure to have @manjeet786.bsky.social from @westsyduhie.bsky.social join our symposium, presenting both a poster and a speed talk. He shared fascinating insights into how arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi can—and cannot—support sorghum in the fight against charcoal rot. #ESA2025

The fossil, more than 400 million years old, offers hints about the origin of one of the greatest partnerships in the history of life on Earth. www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/new...

- Reposted by Manjeet DhullOver 70% of Earth's ecoregions have yet to be sampled for arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. By analyzing eDNA sample locations, we found most soils are unsampled. Drylands are especially overlooked despite covering almost 1/3 of the Earth's terrestrial land. academic.oup.com/femsle/artic...

- Reposted by Manjeet Dhull📣 NEW PREPRINT 📝 We identified evolutionary origins of many fungal effectors! We show that fungi secrete lots of antimicrobial proteins, and that some of them were repurposed by plant pathogens for host immune suppression. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... cc @teamthomma.bsky.social
