This looks amazing! Can't wait to give this preprint a closer read!

New paper🚨: Ever wonder how plants talk to fungi? When plants are low on phosphate (Pi), they exude #Strigolactones (SLs) in soil to obtain Pi from microbes. We show a broad range of fungi in soil respond to SLs 👇 Is the SL response in fungi conserved? authors.elsevier.com/a/1jsQB3vVUPRm…
