Hidden soil allies – fungi that help plants face drought
Climate change makes droughts more frequent and intense, threatening the food we grow and eat every day. Luckily, plants have invisible allies under the soil – tiny fungi called mycorrhizae that ...

In this study, we found that two major lineages of endosymbiotic fungi have lost DNA polymerase genes.
In AM fungi, DNA polymerase losses are lineage-specific.
Microsporidia lost the same DNA polymerases and accessory co-factors as AM fungi, but in a slightly different order.
