More than 80% of plant species exchange resources with mycorrhizal fungi and these associations impact both partners at multiple scales, from individuals to ecosystems. In total, 172 participants from 33 countries and 160 institutions met at the 10th International Conference on Mycorrhiza (ICOM 10) in the city of Mérida in the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico – an area famous for its Mayan archaeological sites, cenotes, and the Chicxulub impact crater that marks the end of the Cretaceous period. They discussed latest advances on mycorrhizal research across 125 talks and 111 posters in 14 sessions focused on the biology, physiology, ecology, evolution and conservation of these interactions from molecules to biomes. |
