👉 Caenocrypticoids are small, non-volatile compounds that have a chemical structure resembling those of amino acids but with an unusual functional group at the end. These compounds are often found in certain fungi and plants, particularly in the fungal mycorrhiza (intermediate layer between the roots and the stolon) where they bind to specific sugars or lipids. Their role in plant biology is not fully understood, but some studies suggest that they may play a role in nutrient transport, energy
