Description

Mycoheterotrophy: The Biology of Plants Living on Fungi by Springer explores the fascinating evolutionary adaptation where plant lineages obtain water, minerals, and carbohydrates directly from fungi, eliminating their dependence on photosynthesis. This comprehensive botanical text uncovers the biology of mycoheterotrophs, examining their ecology and diversity with detailed scientific insights. The book addresses long-standing questions about this intriguing symbiotic relationship that has captivated botanists throughout history. Discover how certain plants exploit fungi to sustain themselves entirely through fungal carbon, and gain deeper understanding of the mechanisms behind this remarkable biological process that challenges conventional plant biology.

Key Features

Springer's in-depth exploration of mycoheterotrophy reveals how plants obtain essential nutrients and carbohydrates from fungal partners rather than through photosynthesis.

The book examines the ecology and diversity of mycoheterotrophs, providing comprehensive botanical insights into their evolutionary adaptations and survival strategies.

Addresses centuries-old botanical questions about fungal-plant symbiosis and the ability of plants to live entirely on fungal carbon sources.

Scientific text suitable for botanists, researchers, and students seeking detailed understanding of this unique biological relationship between plants and fungi.
