But do I dare tell my student that just analysed 100’s of root samples about this? 😬
Symbiotic root fungi are everywhere! Currently, quantifying root colonisation relies on staining & human scoring. For high-confidence predictions try AMFinder & our streamlined flatbed scanner protocol. Pls RT and let us know what you think. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
