Common mycorrhizal networks amplify size inequality in Andropogon gerardii monocultures.
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi can interconnect plant root systems through hyphal common mycorrhizal networks, which may influence the distribution of limiting mineral nutrients among interconnected individuals, potentially affecting competition and consequent size inequality. Using a microcosm model system, we investigated whether the members of Andropogon gerardii monocultures compete via commo...
متن کاملFungal superhighways: do common mycorrhizal networks enhance below ground communication?
In many natural communities communication between plants and other organisms below ground drives community dynamics. This communication is primarily through the release and detection of infochemicals, which must traverse the soil matrix to be effective. In this opinion article, we propose the Network Enhanced Bioactive Zone (NEBaZ) model, which posits that common mycorrhizal networks (CMNs) inc...
متن کاملInterplant Communication of Tomato Plants through Underground Common Mycorrhizal Networks
Plants can defend themselves to pathogen and herbivore attack by responding to chemical signals that are emitted by attacked plants. It is well established that such signals can be transferred through the air. In theory, plants can also communicate with each other through underground common mycorrhizal networks (CMNs) that interconnect roots of multiple plants. However, until now research focus...
متن کاملIntermediate Levels of Network Fluidity Amplify Economic Growth andMitigate Economic Inequality in Experimental Social Networks
Social connections are mutable. Prior experimental work has shown that circumstances fostering an intermediate rate of forming and breaking social ties (“network fluidity”) facilitate the maintenance of optimal levels of cooperation in experimental social networks. Previous observational work has also suggested a relationship between economic outcomes and network structure (measured statically)...
متن کاملComparison of common cytotypesof Andropogon gerardii(Andropogoneae, Poaceae).
Many plant species contain populations with more than one polyploid cytotype, but little is known of the mechanisms maintaining several cytotypes in a population. Andropogon gerardii cytotypes were compared to evaluate different models of autopolyploid cytotype coexistence. The enneaploid (90 chromosome, 9x) cytotype was found to be larger and taller than the hexaploid (60 chromosome, 6x) cytot...
