This video focuses on a recent publication “The ectomycorrhizal fungus Pisolithus microcarpus encodes a microRNA involved in cross-kingdom gene silencing during symbiosis” to highlight the “love-and-hate” relationship between fungi and plants. I made this video to explain a scientific paper in an interesting way. Hope that you will enjoy!
