Tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum) in the crop garden of the Botanical Garden Munich-Nymphenburg.

Whether they are helpful partners or nasty pathogens – plants live in close symbiosis with tiny microorganisms. This guided tour takes you into the fascinating world of root nodule symbiosis in legumes, highlights the importance of arbuscular mycorrhizae for plant growth, and takes a look at plant diseases such as powdery mildew. From the crop plant section to the alpine garden, it becomes clear how invisible partnerships shape entire ecosystems.
