Silene, a versatile model system: from sex and genome evolution to ecology and speciation
Summary Fundamental and applied research in evolutionary biology benefits from the use of model systems in which approaches from disparate disciplines can be integrated. Here, we review recent progress in evolutionary research on the long‐standing model system Silene, a large genus with a well‐resolved phylogeny and newly available, expanded genomic ...

Summary Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EcMF) are key components of temperate ecosystems, and recent studies suggest that they can also inhabit non‐EcM plant roots as endophytes. We aimed to (1) provide new evidence of EcMF colonization of non‐EcM hosts, (2) offer direct microscopic confirmation of such endophytism and (3) assess factors influencing ...

Cross‐kingdom communication between plants and parasitic nematodes
Cross‐kingdom communication between plants and parasitic nematodes. Summary Plant‐parasitic nematodes and their hosts engage in a continuous exchange of signals cross‐kingdom. On the one hand, parasites exploit host‐derived metabolites, proteins, and RNAs to sense host identity, proximity, and condition – and as a basis for manipulating host processes ...
