Cinnamon is a tree introduced to the lowlands of Mexico in the mid-16th century, but it spread to other places at the beginning of the 20th century due to its important commercial value as an aromatic spice.

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]
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)

Sequence based data supports a single Nostoc strain in individual coralloid roots of cycads [PDF]
The genetic diversity of cyanobacteria associated with cycads was examined using the tRNA(Leu) (UAA) intron as a genetic marker. Coralloid roots of both natural populations of the cycad Macrozamia riedlei (Fischer ex Gaudichaud-Beaupré) C.A. Gardner growing in Perth, Australia and cycads growing in greenhouses, also in Perth, were used and their ...

The Coralloid Roots of Macrozamia Communis L. Johnson [PDF]
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.

Morphogenesis is highly aberrant in the vegetative body of the holoparasite Lophophytum leandrii (Balanophoraceae): All typical vegetative organs are absent and many tissues are highly modified [PDF]
The vegetative body of Lophophytum leandrii is a ‘‘tuber’’ that completely lacks all vegetative organs typically found in photosynthetic plants. Tubers have a warty surface zone composed of parenchyma cells and brachysclereids; there is no epidermis. The

Characterization of gonidial zone ofCycas revolutacoralloid roots by means of microelectrodes [PDF]
Microelectrodes were used for measurements of oxygen, ammonium, potassium and calcium concentrations within gonidial zones of Cycas revoluta coralloid roots. Gonidial zone segments contained an oxygen pressure of 85% with respect to its concentration in the atmosphere.

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 ...
