This project investigates how certain plants can obtain carbon from root-associated fungi in addition to photosynthesis, especially in low-light environments. By studying plant and fungal interactions, the research aims to uncover the prevalence and ecological significance of this newly identified carbon uptake method,…
Plants need light to grow.
They use energy from sunlight to produce organic carbon.
However, new findings – including my own work – now hint that up to 35% of all plant species can also obtain carbon from root-associated fungi when light availability is insufficient for growth.
This calls into question much of what we thought we knew about how plants survive in the understory.
The goal of this project is to determine the frequency and magnitude of this newly discovered form of ‘mixotrophy’ in ou…
