Genomics and evolution of heritable bacterial symbionts.
Insect heritable symbionts have proven to be ubiquitous, based on molecular screening of various insect lineages. Recently, molecular and experimental approaches have yielded an immensely richer understanding of their diverse biological roles, resulting in a burgeoning research literature. Increasingly, commonalities and intermediates are being discovered between categories of symbionts once co...
متن کامل1 The evolution of heritable symbionts
Symbiotic microorganisms are extremely widespread in nature, having intimate and often obligatory associations with their`host' species. Despite the near ubiquity of arthropod symbionts, their study has been constrained by their fastidious nature and inability to be cultured out of the arthropod host. Recent advances in molecular biology have provided new tools for symbiosis research and stimul...
متن کاملFungal endophytes: common host plant symbionts but uncommon mutualists.
Fungal endophytes are extremely common and highly diverse microorganisms that live within plant tissues, but usually remain asymptomatic. Endophytes traditionally have been considered plant mutualists, mainly by reducing herbivory via production of mycotoxins, such as alkaloids. However, the vast majority of endophytes, especially horizontally-transmitted ones commonly found in woody plants, ap...
متن کاملFungal Endophytes: Common Host Plant Symbionts but Uncommon Mutualists1
SYNOPSIS. Fungal endophytes are extremely common and highly diverse microorganisms that live within plant tissues, but usually remain asymptomatic. Endophytes traditionally have been considered plant mutualists, mainly by reducing herbivory via production of mycotoxins, such as alkaloids. However, the vast majority of endophytes, especially horizontally-transmitted ones commonly found in woody ...
متن کاملThe Role of Host Demographic Storage in the Ecological Dynamics of Heritable Symbionts.
Heritable symbioses are widespread and ecologically important. Many host organisms have complex life cycles that include diverse opportunities for symbionts to affect their host and be lost during development. Yet, existing theory takes a simplified view of host demography. Here, we generalize symbiosis theory to understand how demographic "storage" in the form of dormant or prereproductive lif...
