Lipid transfer from plants to arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi
Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) symbioses contribute to global carbon cycles as plant hosts divert up to 20% of photosynthate to the obligate biotrophic fungi. Previous studies suggested carbohydrates as the only form of carbon transferred to the fungi. However, de novo fatty acid (FA) synthesis has not been observed in AM fungi in absence of the plant. In a forward genetic approach, we identified t...
متن کاملSuccessful joint ventures of plants: arbuscular mycorrhiza and beyond.
Among the oldest symbiotic associations of plants are arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) with fungi of the phylum Glomeromycota. Although many of the symbiotic signaling components have been identified on the side of the plant, AM fungi have long evaded genetic analysis owing to their strict biotrophy and their exceptional genetics. Recently, the identification of the fungal symbiosis signal (Myc facto...
متن کاملMiscellaneous Contributions to the Taxonomy and Mycorrhiza of AMF-exploiting Myco-heterotrophic Plants
– Afrothismia saingei, a new species of Burmanniaceae (tribe Thismieae) from Mt. Kupein South-West Cameroon is described and illustrated. It differs from the other species of the genusAfrothismia by the size of its flower, the long, distinctly heteromorphic tepals with fringed basalextensions, the dorsal invagination of the perianth tube and the unique shape of the internal flange.
متن کاملYear-class coexistence in biennial plants.
I extend the well known and biologically well motivated Skellam model of plant population dynamics to biennial plants. The model has two attractors: either one year class competitively excludes the other, resulting in 2-cycles with only vegetative vs only flowering plants in alternating years, or the two year classes coexist at an interior equilibrium. Contrary to earlier models, these two attr...
متن کاملPollinator Foraging Adaptation and Coexistence of Competing Plants
We use the optimal foraging theory to study coexistence between two plant species and a generalist pollinator. We compare conditions for plant coexistence for non-adaptive vs. adaptive pollinators that adjust their foraging strategy to maximize fitness. When pollinators have fixed preferences, we show that plant coexistence typically requires both weak competition between plants for resources (...
