Trees, fungi and bacteria: tripartite metatranscriptomics of a root microbiome responding to soil contamination

Microbiome, 2018
Background One method for rejuvenating land polluted with anthropogenic contaminants is through phytoremediation, the reclamation of land through the cultivation of specific crops.

Genetic architecture of pollination syndrome transition between hummingbird-specialist and generalist species in the genus Rhytidophyllum (Gesneriaceae) [PDF]

PeerJ, 2015
Adaptation to pollinators is a key factor of diversification in angiosperms. The Caribbean sister genera Rhytidophyllum and Gesneria present an important diversification of floral characters.

Characterization of Two Dinoflagellate Cold Shock Domain Proteins

mSphere, 2016
Roughly two-thirds of the proteins annotated as transcription factors in dinoflagellate transcriptomes are cold shock domain-containing proteins (CSPs), an uncommon condition in eukaryotic organisms. However, no functional analysis has ever been reported

Estimating herbaceous aboveground biomass in Sahelian rangelands using Structure from Motion data collected on the ground and by UAV

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Herbaceous aboveground biomass (HAB) is a key indicator of grassland vegetation and indirect estimation tools, such as remote sensing imagery, increase the potential for covering larger areas in a timely and cost‐efficient way. Structure from Motion (SfM)

Plant beta-diversity across biomes captured by imaging spectroscopy

Nature Communications, 2022
Spaceborne spectroscopy is a promising tool to monitor vegetation globally. Here, the authors combine airborne spectroscopy and field-based vegetation data to demonstrate that spectral imagery from upcoming satellite missions can be used to capture ...

The Arabidopsis Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Kinase Kinase 20 (MKKK20) Acts Upstream of MKK3 and MPK18 in Two Separate Signaling Pathways Involved in Root Microtubule Functions

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling networks represent important means of signal transduction in plants and other eukaryotes, controlling intracellular signaling by linking perception of environmental or developmental cues to downstream ...

Controlled ectomycorrhization of an exotic legume tree species Acacia holosericea affects the structure of root nodule bacteria community and their symbiotic effectiveness on Faidherbia albida, a native sahelian Acacia [PDF]

, 2008
In the 400-700 mm rainfall zone, Acacia holosericea was found to be one of the best-adapted exotic tree showing excellent survival rate and rapid early growth (Harwood, 1994).

Stigma-pollen recognition: a new look

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014
During the last two decades, there have been several conceptual developments in our understanding of pollen-stigma recognition and molecular mechanisms involved. The main models proposed are compared.
