Microbial life in the grapevine: what can we expect from the leaf microbiome?

open access: yesOENO One, 2018
Aim: Recent studies have shown that plants harbor complex bacterial communities, the so-called “microbiome”. We are only beginning to unravel the origin of these bacterial plant inhabitants, their community structure and their roles, which, in analogy to

Importance of within-shoot epiphyte distribution for the carbon budget of seagrasses: the example of Posidonia oceanica [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
6 páginas, 4 figuras, 1 tablaTo assess the effects of shading by epiphytes on the carbon balance of the seagrass Posidonia oceanica, we examined the patterns of within-shoot epiphyte abundance on leaves, and their variability with season and depth ...

Two Epiphytic Algae [PDF]

open access: yesBotanical Gazette, 1911
This minute alga was first found in i897 growing in a culture with other small algae in the botanical laboratory at the University of Basel, Switzerland. Though the exact source of the culture cannot be stated, it is known to have come from the vicinity of Basel.

Harnessing the benefits of herbarium specimen digitisation for inferring recent and ongoing plant extinctions

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Evidence for the ongoing biodiversity crisis rests on assessment of a small fraction of described species, with major knowledge gaps for most organisms, including plants. Here, we highlight how digitised herbarium specimens can be used to accelerate and improve estimates of recent and ongoing plant extinctions.

Environmental Signals Modulate the Expression of an Indole-3-Acetic Acid Biosynthetic Gene in Erwinia herbicola

open access: yesMolecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 1997
The ipdC gene of Erwinia herbicola strain 299R encodes an indolepyruvate decarboxylase involved in the biosynthesis of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). Transcriptional fusions of ipdC to an ice nucleation reporter gene (inaZ) were used to study the expression

Mesocosm experiments quantify the effects of eutrophication on eelgrass, Zostera marina [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
Outdoor mesocosm experiments were used to examine the response of eelgrass communities to excess nutrient loading and reduced light that simulated coastal eutrophication.

Comparative algological and bacteriological examinations on biofilms developed on different substrata in a shallow soda lake [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
According to the European Water Framework Directives, benthic diatoms of lakes are a tool for ecological status assessment. In this study, we followed an integrative sample analysis approach, in order to find an appropriate substratum for the water ...

From pathogens to partners: temporal and biogeographical patterns in fungal associations of alien trees

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Alien trees reshape belowground fungal communities, but the factors governing the balance between mutualists and pathogens remain unclear. We tested whether residence time, mycorrhizal type, and biogeographical origin shape this balance, and whether alien stands differ from native vegetation. We sampled soils beneath 73 alien tree species in 48

Are neotropical predictors of forest epiphyte–host relationships consistent in Indonesia? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Epiphytes represent keystone resources for many arthropod and vertebrate species, however their ecology remains poorly explored, especially within the palaeotropics.

Engineered Production of Hydroxycinnamoyl Tyramine Conjugates Limits the Growth of the Pathogen Pseudomonas syringae in Arabidopsis

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydroxycinnamoyl tyramine conjugates are phenolamides produced by plants in response to pathogen attack and biotic stresses. Their proposed mechanisms of action include cytotoxicity towards pathogens, cell wall reinforcement to restrict pathogen proliferation, and signaling activity to trigger general stress responses.
