My translation: a symbiosis between maize, & a Glomeromycotina fungus that penetrates the outer cells of maize roots, controls interplay between phosphorus & zinc (zinc deficiency is the predominant micronutrient shortfall in crops). cc. missimericka, via Dalia K. M. Khojely:
Opening of our new growth chamber house by rector Hoch Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn. This joint facility of the Faculties of Agriculture and Natural Science contains 12 new growth chambers funded by DFG public | @[email protected] & additional greenhouse space.

Just saw that the current issue of „Mais“ has highlighted our Nature Genetics paper on local adaptation of seminal root number. The cover story is on yield loss by drought stress from the Thomas Dresselhaus lab. Mais is a journal of the German Maize Committee (maiskomitee.de).
