Researchers report that a beneficial fungus can reshape the microbial community around tobacco roots, helping the plant grow better in nutrient-poor soil. The findings suggest fungal partners could improve crop resilience on marginal land by engineering the root microbiome rather than adding fertilizer, drawing attention from plant scientists and agronomists interested in sustainable agriculture.
