Experiments on Splash Dispersal of Fungus Spores [PDF]
Journal of General Microbiology, 1959 SUMMARY: Splash dispersal (first studied by Faulwetter, 1917 a, b) is characteristic of many bacterial plant pathogens and slime-spored fungi. The mechanism of splash has been studied in the laboratory under simplified conditions with water drops falling from known heights on to thin films of a suspension of conidia of Fusarium solani spread on ...

Disease gradient of the anthracnose agent Apiognomonia quercina in a natural oak stand
Phytopathologia Mediterranea, 2007 Patterns of spore dispersal of the fungal pathogen Apiognomonia quercina and its anamorph Discula quercina were investigated over two consecutive growing seasons in a natural mixed stand of Quercus cerris and Q.

Evolution of plant reproduction: from fusion and dispersal to interaction and communication [PDF]
, 2009 Based on the existing data concerning the evolution of the sexual reproduction, it is argued that the processes of sex differentiation and interactions play a key role in evolution. From the beginning environment and organism are unified.

Sphagnum physiology in the context of changing climate: emergent influences of genomics, modelling and host-microbiome interactions on understanding ecosystem function. [PDF]
, 2014 Peatlands harbour more than one-third of terrestrial carbon leading to the argument that the bryophytes, as major components of peatland ecosystems, store more organic carbon in soils than any other collective plant taxa. Plants of the genus Sphagnum are

The usefulness of aerobiological methods in monitoring lycopod sporulation [PDF]
Plant Ecology and Evolution, 2018 Background and aims – The purpose of the study was to determine whether the concentration of lycopod spores present in aeroplankton reflects their release during sporulation and whether it is a good indirect tool to estimate the condition of lycopod ...

Dynamics of Pathogenic Fungi in Field Hedges: Vegetation Cover Is Differentially Impacted by Weather
Microorganisms, 2022 Landscape effects might impede or increase spore dispersal and disease risk for crops, as trees and hedges buffer winds and can behave as spore traps, therefore limiting diffusion of fungi, or, on the contrary, behave as disease relay once vegetation is ...

Species-specific interactions in avian–bryophyte dispersal networks
Royal Society Open Science, 2022 Studies from seed plants have shown that animal dispersal fundamentally alters the success of plant dispersal, shaping community composition through time. Our understanding of this phenomenon in spore plants is comparatively limited.

Comparative Behavior of \u3ci\u3ePyrellia Cyanicolor\u3c/i\u3e (Diptera: Muscidae) on the Moss \u3ci\u3eSplachnum Ampullaceum\u3c/i\u3e and on Substrates of Nutritional Value [PDF]
, 2017 (excerpt) Entomophily is commonly associated with flowering plants and their pollen vectors, but also occurs in other groups of plants. Among fungi, several genera of Phallaceae offer food rewards to calliphorid and muscid flies, which inadvertently ...

Direct splash dispersal prevails over indirect and subsequent spread during rains in Colletotrichum gloeosporioides infecting yams. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Plant pathogens have evolved many dispersal mechanisms, using biotic or abiotic vectors or a combination of the two. Rain splash dispersal is known from a variety of fungi, and can be an efficient driver of crop epidemics, with infectious strains ...
