Expanding the Biological Role of Lipo-Chitooligosaccharides and Chitooligosaccharides in Laccaria bicolor Growth and Development

The role of lipo-chitooligosaccharides (LCOs) as signaling molecules that mediate the establishment of symbiotic relationships between fungi and plants is being redefined.New evidence suggests that the production of these molecular signals may be more of a common trait in fungi than Chandelier what was previously thought.LCOs affect different aspec
