Abstract
Plant are connected via hyphal networks which distribute nutrients, reduced carbon from photosynthesis as well as information within the plant community. I describe our current knowledge about these common mycelial networks, and address open questions that need to be answered to understand their role in ecosystems, pest management and sustainable agriculture. Besides numerous models describing the belowground interplant communication, only a little is known about the molecular basis and structural requirements for information transfer. However, established and novel model systems may provide a link between scientific approaches in the laboratory and ecologically relevant observations in nature.
