Impact of the invasive diatom species Cymbella janischii on riverine microbial biofilm communities and a potential role of bacterially produced zeatin

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract The diatom Cymbella janischii is an invasive species in Japan, causing nuisance blooms by forming thick mats in rivers. To date, there are no documented studies on the microbiome associations in C. janischii mats or the processes that drive bloom formation.

Genetic, phenotypic, and ecological differentiation indicate a new cryptic and threatened species in the orchid genus Epidendrum from Alcatrazes Island, southeastern Brazil

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
Epidendrum insularis occurs on the remote Alcatrazes Island in the southeastern Brazilian coast. The description of this new cryptic species was only possible by the joint use of molecular markers, reproductive experiments, flower morphometry, functional traits, and community analysis.

Endogenous RALF peptide function is required for powdery mildew host colonization

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Model of RALF‐FER‐dependent effects on powdery mildew sporulation. Summary The receptor kinase FERONIA (FER) is a susceptibility factor for biotrophic powdery mildew fungal pathogens in Arabidopsis thaliana, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown. FER is required for the perception of endogenous RAPID ALKALINIZATION FACTOR (RALF)

Local and regional determinants of vascular epiphytes mortality in the Andean mountains of Colombia [PDF]

, 2015
: In this study we present the first census of mortality of vascular epiphyte communities carried out at large-scale in mountains of the Andes. Our goal was to identify the main modes of death and the determinants variables on epiphytes mortality. During

Global distribution and biogeography of ericoid mycorrhizal fungi

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Global predictions of local ericoid mycorrhizal fungal richness, its latitudinal trends and environmental predictors. Summary Ericoid mycorrhizal (ErM) fungi play a crucial role across terrestrial ecosystems, forming mutualistic symbiosis with Ericaceae and contributing to soil organic matter dynamics.

Floristic composition and spatial distribution of vascular epiphytes in the restingas of Maracanã, Brazil

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2014
Vascular epiphytes constitute a life form that is important to maintaining the biological diversity of forest ecosystems, because they provide food resources and specialized microenvironments for fauna in the forest canopy.

For colonization success, should hosts and microbes travel alone, together, or swap partners along the way?

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Experimental co‐introduction of duckweeds (Lemna japonica) and their microbiome in a common pond. Summary Microbiomes that enhance the performance of host plants are likely to be co‐introduced with their host during colonization because of their intimate association.

High Host Preferences in Epiphytic Lichens Across Diverse Phorophyte Species in the Mediterranean Region

Journal of Fungi
Contrary to the assumption that epiphytic lichens, which obtain water and nutrients from the atmosphere, do not exhibit host species preference, this notion is challenged by the limited number of studies that cover a wide geographical range and diverse ...

“On a tree”, “terrestrial”, or “on the rocks”? Habit diversity in the megadiverse genus Peperomia

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The plasticity of a large proportion of Peperomia species to occupy multiple types of microhabitats is not well documented due to the typically rigid categorization of habitat use. Therefore, the numerical approach presented is methodologically innovative to advance ecological data integration to provide a more realistic visualization of the habitat ...
