Dual mutualistic associations in sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia Scop.) : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science in Agronomy at Massey University [PDF]

open access: yes, 1982
Recent studies established that many legumes, when infected with the appropriate Rhizobium spp. and arbuscular fungi, nodulated better and exhibited greater dinitrogen fixation than plants infected with only the rhizobia.

Statistical Phylogenetic Tree Analysis Using Differences of Means [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We propose a statistical method to test whether two phylogenetic trees with given alignments are significantly incongruent. Our method compares the two distributions of phylogenetic trees given by the input alignments, instead of comparing point ...

Expression and purification of an adenylation domain from a eukaryotic nonribosomal peptide synthetase: Using structural genomics tools for a challenging target [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs) are large multimodular and multidomain enzymes that are involved in synthesising an array of molecules that are important in human and animal health.

Non‐Additive Interactions Between Multiple Mutualists and Host Plant Genotype Simultaneously Promote Increased Plant Growth and Pathogen Defence

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding the impact of microbial interactions on plants is critical for maintaining healthy native ecosystems and sustainable agricultural practices. Despite the reality that genetically distinct plants host multiple microbes of large effect in the field, it remains unclear the extent to which host genotypes modulate non‐additive ...

Earthworm abundances in endophyte-infected tall fescue pastures in Northwest Arkansas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The ecology of organisms that co-evolve within an ecosystem is likely to be distinct from that involving organisms recently introduced into an area. To better understand the relationship of earthworms with endophyte-infected tall fescue, earthworms in ...

Mortierella alpina CS10E4, an oleaginous fungal endophyte of Crocus sativus L. enhances apocarotenoid biosynthesis and stress tolerance in the host plant

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Crocus sativus is the only plant species which produces apocarotenoids like crocin, picrocrocin and safranal in significant amounts. These compounds impart organoleptic properties to saffron (dried stigmas of Crocus flower) making it world’s costliest ...

Eradication of the fungus Epichloë coenophiala from Schedonorus arundinaceus (tall fescue) seeds by interrupting the vertical transmission process

open access: yesEcología Austral, 2019
Tall fescue is usually infected by a fungal endophyte, responsible of livestock intoxication due to fungal alkaloids. An endophyte fungus grows in the apoplast of aboveground tissues and is vertically transmitted through the seeds.

Phyllosphere Keystone Beneficial Specialists Enhance Yield in Nutrient Deficiency‐Resistant Sorghum Cultivars

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The phyllosphere, the aboveground interface between plant leaves and their microbial residents, plays a vital yet underappreciated role in crop productivity. While root‐ and soil‐associated microbiomes are well‐studied, the ecological assembly and yield‐related effects of host‐mediated phyllosphere microbial communities remain largely ...

Root-associated fungal communities colonizing two dominant semiarid grasses: Hilaria sp. and Stipa sp. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We conducted a preliminary survey of the fungal communities associated with roots of Stipa hymenoides and Hilaria jamesii, two grasses native to the southwestern United States.
