Article Synopsis
- This study explores the limited research on Ericoid mycorrhizal (ERM) fungi in relation to blueberry plants and reports the successful isolation of 14 endomycorrhizal fungi.
- Six strains were found to be beneficial for blueberry growth, leading to the formation of important structures that enhance plant nutrient uptake, specifically nitrogen and phosphorus.
- Gene expression changes were observed, indicating that specific genes play a role in phosphorus transport and absorption, further enhancing the plants' growth and nutrient content.
