Compartmentalisation: A strategy for optimising symbiosis and tradeoff management

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, Volume 46, Issue 10, Page 2998-3011, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Plant root architecture is developmentally plastic in response to fluctuating nutrient levels in the soil. Part of this developmental plasticity is the formation of dedicated root cells and organs to host mutualistic symbionts. Structures like nitrogen‐fixing nodules serve as alternative nutrient acquisition strategies during starvation ...

Four new and two resurrected species of Bacidina from Sweden, with notes and a preliminary key to the known Scandinavian species

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2023, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023
Four species of Bacidina (Ramalinaceae, Lecanorales, Ascomycota) are described as new to science from northern Europe (mainly Swedish material): Bacidina ferax S.Ekman, Bacidina lignicola S.Ekman, Bacidina maculans S.Ekman and Bacidina populnea S.Ekman.

Fundamental Understanding of Nonaqueous and Hybrid Na–CO2 Batteries: Challenges and Perspectives

open access: yesSmall, Volume 19, Issue 15, April 12, 2023., 2023
Na–CO2 batteries have emerged as an attractive energy storage technology due to their high theoretical energy density and CO2 utilization simultaneously. However, a review of the relationship between Na–CO2 battery components and their functionality is not available. A comprehensive overview is presented that covers the reaction mechanisms, challenges,

DEVELOPMENTAL ANATOMY OF CORALLOID ROOTS IN CYCADS [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, 1975
Coralloid roots of cycads were found to originate endogenously from the pericycle of apogeotropic secondary roots or adventitious roots that have become exposed or nearly exposed to the soil surface. All mature coralloid roots are susceptible to infection by algal endophytes, which seem to enter from the soil through a break in the dermal layers.In the

Free Sugar Profile in Cycads

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2014
The sugars fructose, glucose, maltose, and sucrose were quantified in seven tissues of Zamia muricata Willd. to determine their distribution throughout various organs of a model cycad species, and in lateral structural roots of 18 cycad species to ...

ON THE PHYCOBIONTS OF THE CYCAD CORALLOID ROOTS [PDF]

open access: yesNew Phytologist, 1980
SummaryThe structure, ultrastructure and the developmental cycle of the phycobionts living in the coralloid roots of various cycads growing in different Italian Botanical Gardens were studied. The phycobionts were examined in the various zones of the coralloids from the top towards the base. All the phycobionts observed have the characteristics typical

Nitrogen Fixation in the Coralloid Roots of Macrozamia Communis L. Johnson [PDF]

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Biological Sciences, 1965
Coralloid roots of Macrozamia communis have been shown by the isotopic method to fix nitrogen when they contain the endophytic blue·green algae. Immature coralloid roots devoid of the endophyte did not fix nitrogen. Coralloid roots from glasshouse-grown plants fixed 2· 7 times as much nitrogen when illuminated than they did in the dark and the IfiN ...

The nexus of decay and birth: Ecological and evolutionary significance of wood‐decaying fungi in green Calypsoinae orchid germination

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 12, Page 3659-3671, December 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract A key feature of Orchidaceae is the production of dust‐like seeds that depend on fungal carbon during early development. Although protocorms and mature green orchids typically associate with rhizoctonia fungi, many non‐photosynthetic orchids and some photosynthetic ...

Root Growth and Branching of Two Cycas Species Are Influenced by Form of Nitrogen Fertilizer

open access: yesAgronomy
Horticultural research into the group of plants known as cycads has been deficient, and this includes the study of root growth and function. The form of nitrogen (N) available to plants is known to influence root growth and morphology.
