Description
Zhen-Xing Tian and colleagues add a friendly root fungus to lab grown pine plantlets in a 2026 forestry study. Pine plantlets raised from somatic embryos often die when moved to soil because sterile culture leaves roots without partner microbes. A peat based mix first lifted plain survival close to total.
Fungus treated plantlets formed branched coral like roots with a dense inner network. Every treated plantlet survived the first month after transplanting. Survival stayed above ninety four percent after a full year, while untreated controls fell near seventy three percent by three months. Tree nurseries gain a practical protocol for cloning valuable conifers at scale.
