The existence of MNs was originally based primarily on specificity phenomena estimated from mycorrhizal morphotypes, but it is now supported by physical, physiological and molecular evidence for a wide range of ecosystems. High-resolution models of MN topology are now being developed based on genotype-specific markers and network analysis. Carbon, nutrients, water, defence signal and allelochemical fluxes have also been examined using isotope, dye and model chemical tracers, quantum dots, mesh and metal barriers, high-resolution imaging and gene expression.
