Habitat Disturbance Promotes Shifts in the Abundance of Major Fungal Phyla in the Roots of a Native Orchid, Tipularia discolor [PDF]
Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 6, Issue 6, December 2025.ABSTRACT Orchids are a widely distributed group of flowering plants with important roles in ecosystems around the globe. However, many species are in decline due, in part, to human‐driven changes in their habitat. It is well established that orchids are reliant on specific groups of mycorrhizal fungi for growth and reproduction and that these fungi can

Evolution of molecular communication in the permanent Azolla symbiosis [PDF]
New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 1666-1674, February 2026.Summary Heritable symbioses exist across eukaryotes with different degrees of intimacy. In most cases, the symbionts are obligate and require inheritance for their survival. On the host side, symbiont retention can facilitate fitness benefits. Only rarely are these symbioses interwoven to the point that host survival relies on the symbiont.

Isolation and characterization of 1-palmitoyl-2-linoleoyl-sn-glycerol as a hormogonium-inducing factor (HIF) from the coralloid roots of Cycas revoluta (Cycadaceae) [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2019 AbstractCoralloid roots are specialized tissues of cycads (Cycas revoluta) that are involved in symbioses with nitrogen-fixing Nostoc cyanobacteria. We found that a crude methanolic extract of coralloid roots induced differentiation of the filamentous cell aggregates of Nostoc species into motile hormogonia. Hence, the hormogonium-inducing factor (HIF)

The Coralloid Roots of Macrozamia Communis L. Johnson [PDF]
Australian Journal of Biological Sciences, 1965 Macrozamia communis exhibits root dimorphism, possessing both normal and coralloid roots. The latter are pneumatophores in which an algal zone may be present or absent. In the coralloid roots the root cap tissue was interpreted as forming a secondary cortex which persisted throughout the life of the root.

Cyanobiont diversity within coralloid roots of selected cycad species [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 1999 The diversity and host specificity of the cyanobionts of several cycad species (Cycas circinalis L., C. rumphii Miq., Encephalartos lebomboensis I. Verd., E. villosus Lem., and Zamia pumila L.) collected in a botanical garden were examined using the tRNALeu(UAA) intron sequence as a genetic marker.

Specialized bacteriome uncovered in the coralloid roots of the epiphytic gymnosperm, Zamia pseudoparasitica [PDF]
Environmental DNA, 2020 AbstractEpiphytes face several constraints regarding nutrient acquisition: They are disconnected from soil minerals and they have to mainly rely on nutrients leached by precipitation and microbes. The cycad, Zamia pseudoparasitica Yates, is the only known strictly epiphytic gymnosperm, and it is endemic to Panamanian rainforests.
