Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi are important symbionts that enhance plant growth. They were thought to have been asexual for hundreds of millions of years. A new study reveals that the fungi actually possess highly conserved genetic machinery for completion of meiosis.
丛枝菌根真菌是一种重要的共生体，可以促进植物生长。它们在数亿年的时间里一直被认为是无性繁殖的。一项新的研究表明，这些真菌实际上拥有高度保守的减数分裂完成的遗传机制。
