Ecological and genomic variation in ectomycorrhizal fungal exploration types

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) produce mycelia with variable extension and complexity, which can be classified according to soil ‘exploration types’ (ETs). ETs have received attention as one of the few mycorrhizal trait frameworks, but without an empirical classification of ET functional diversity and environmental preferences, understanding and ...

Conserved symbiosis‐associated genes in the cycad Encephalartos natalensis suggest co‐option for cyanobacterial symbiosis

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
The heterocyst‐rich Encephalartos natalensis cyanobacterial zone in coralloid root suggests co‐option of conserved symbiosis‐associated genes. This figure was created in BioRender (BioRender.com/https://BioRender.com/n3qveqc). Summary Plant‐cyanobacterial symbioses have evolved independently at least four times across land plants, yet their underlying ...

Black mangrove growth and root architecture in recycled glass sand: testing a new substrate for coastal restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
As coastal regions experience accelerating land loss, artificial substrates may be useful in restoration efforts to replenish sediment and facilitate plant colonization. Recycled glass sand is a potential artificial substrate for marsh building due to its sustainability, availability, and similarity to natural substrates.

Skin Commensal Microbiota Does Not Influence the Clinical Course of Dermatophyte Infection in Persian Cats

Veterinary Dermatology, EarlyView.
Dermatophytes can be isolated from both symptomatic and asymptomatic cats, yet the role of skin commensals in modulating disease expression remains unclear. This study investigates whether microbial skin communities influence the clinical presentation (symptomatic or asymptomatic) of dermatophyte infection in Persian cats.
