Compartmentalisation: A strategy for optimising symbiosis and tradeoff management
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 ...

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

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]
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]
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 ...

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
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.
