What does Yeast do Besides Rise?

“In Plants, Yeast Raises Temperature”
This is an article from the New York Times, published on March 2, 2010.
It is a short article that discusses the importance of yeast, going beyond the uses that we already known, such as in baking and beer production. This unicellular organism is also capable of “keeping plants warm,” among other benefits. The article goes on to discuss how heat is provided to the plant and it also explain the benefits of this symbiotic relationship between the herb, yeast, and bumblebees.
