Direct nitrogen, phosphorus and carbon exchanges between Mucoromycotina 'fine root endophyte' fungi and a flowering plant in novel monoxenic cultures. [PDF]
New Phytol, 2023 Summary Most plants form mycorrhizal associations with mutualistic soil fungi. Through these partnerships, resources are exchanged including photosynthetically fixed carbon for fungal‐acquired nutrients. Recently, it was shown that the diversity of associated fungi is greater than previously assumed, extending to Mucoromycotina fungi.

Atmospheric pollution, soil nutrients and climate effects on Mucoromycota arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol, 2022 Summary Fine root endophyte mycorrhizal fungi in the Endogonales (Mucoromycota arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, M‐AMF) are now recognized as at least as important globally as Glomeromycota AMF (G‐AMF), yet little is known about the environmental factors which influence M‐AMF diversity and colonization, partly because they typically only co‐colonize plants

The potential role of Mucoromycotina 'fine root endophytes' in plant nitrogen nutrition. [PDF]
Physiol Plant, 2022 Abstract Mycorrhizal associations between fungi and plant roots have globally significant impacts on nutrient cycling. Mucoromycotina ‘fine root endophytes’ (MFRE) are a distinct and recently characterised group of mycorrhiza‐forming fungi that associate with the roots of a range of host plant species.

Natural products and extracts from plants as natural UV filters for sunscreens: A review. [PDF]
Animal Model Exp Med, 2023 It summarized natural UV filters from plant in the last 6 years in types of major constituent, main biological effects, evaluation methods of UV radiation resistance, anti‐UV radiation experiment models and anti‐UV radiation mechanisms, in order to better understand the role of herbal extracts in exerting their photo protective activity.

Is there silicon in flowers and what does it tell us? [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 Whether flowers accumulate Si and what the implications may be was largely unknown. We analysed the flowers separated into their different anatomical parts, and leaves of different taxa. We conclude that flowers contain Si, in large amounts for some species, and hence the function of this element warrants more attention.

Acidified Blue Ink-staining Procedure for the Observation of Fungal Structures Inside Roots of Two Disparate Plant Lineages [PDF]
Bio-Protocol, 2020 Identifying microscopic mycorrhizal fungal structures in roots, i.e., hyphae, vesicles and arbuscules, requires root staining procedures that are often time consuming and involves chemicals known to present health risks from exposure.

Scrub encroachment promotes biodiversity in temperate European wetlands under eutrophic conditions. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2022 We examine the effects of encroachment on biodiversity along gradients of soil moisture and soil fertility in open and wooded wetlands in Denmark. Our results support existing knowledge of the importance of nutrient poor, wet mires and meadows for rare species but on former arable lands where restoration of infertile habitats is less feasible we ...

Techniques for locating and analyzing subterranean Lycopodium and Diphasiastrum gametophytes in the field. [PDF]
Appl Plant Sci, 2022 Abstract Homosporous club mosses have an archaic life cycle, alternating two locationally, nutritionally, and physiologically independent generations. The sexual generation of club mosses—the gametophytes (or prothallia)—are among the least researched botanical subjects.

Evidence for Co-evolutionary History of Early Diverging Lycopodiaceae Plants With Fungi [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Lycopods are tracheophytes in the Kingdom Plantae and represent one of the oldest lineages of living vascular plants. Symbiotic interactions between these plants with fungi and bacteria, including fine root endophytes in Endogonales, have been ...
