Divergent Phosphorus-Mining Strategies in Simple and Compound Cluster Roots in Extremely Phosphorus-Impoverished Soils in Southwest Australia. [PDF]

Plant Cell Environ
ABSTRACT Most Proteaceae and some Fabaceae species produce specialised cluster roots (CRs), and are abundant in severely phosphorus (P)‐impoverished soils in southwest Australia. Two types of CRs, compound and simple, have been identified. However, the difference in their P‐mining strategies remains unclear. Therefore, we conducted glasshouse and field

Biochemical phosphorus allocation is linked to photosynthetic phosphorus-use efficiency in a phosphorus-impoverished environment. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Highly efficient phosphorus (P)‐use strategies have evolved in plants, allowing them to thrive in severely P‐impoverished environments. However, it remains unclear how allocating leaf P to biochemical fractions, including specific P‐containing metabolites, contributes to instantaneous photosynthetic P‐use efficiency (iPPUE) and the position of ...

High rates of evolution preceded shifts to sex-biased gene expression in Leucadendron, the most sexually dimorphic angiosperms

eLife, 2021
Differences between males and females are usually more subtle in dioecious plants than animals, but strong sexual dimorphism has evolved convergently in the South African Cape plant genus Leucadendron.

Nutrient Use Efficiency of Southern South America Proteaceae Species. Are there General Patterns in the Proteaceae Family?

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Plants from the Proteaceae family can thrive in old, impoverished soil with extremely low phosphorus (P) content, such as those typically found in South Western Australia (SWA) and South Africa.

Fungal pathogens of Proteaceae [PDF]

Persoonia - Molecular Phylogeny and Evolution of Fungi, 2011
Species of Leucadendron, Leucospermum and Protea (Proteaceae) are in high demand for the international floriculture market due to their brightly coloured and textured flowers or bracts. Fungal pathogens, however, create a serious problem in cultivating flawless blooms.

Evaluating Kinship Estimation Methods for Reduced-Representation SNP Data in Non-model Species. [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour
ABSTRACT Accurate kinship estimation between close relatives is crucial in conservation and restoration but remains challenging in wild populations due to structure and inbreeding. The efficacy of kinship inference using reduced‐representation sequencing data (e.g., DArTseq, RADseq) is also uncertain.
