Plant Root Endosymbioses An investigation of the genetic overlap between arbuscular mycorrhiza and root nodule symbioses The story of two intracellular symbioses First, some history: The evolution of plant root endosymbioses The thematic significance of symbioses Anton de Bary (1879): “Symbiosis is a prolonged living together of different organisms that is beneficial for at least one of them.” So what are the economics of these relationships? Plant root endosymbioses provide an ecological niche for the microsymbionts, as well as a structural background for metabolic/signal exchange between th
