Phosphate transporters in marine phytoplankton and their viruses: cross-domain commonalities in viral-host gene exchanges
Phosphate (PO(4)) is an important limiting nutrient in marine environments. Marine cyanobacteria scavenge PO(4) using the high-affinity periplasmic phosphate binding protein PstS. The pstS gene has recently been identified in genomes of cyanobacterial viruses as well. Here, we analyse genes encoding transporters in genomes from viruses that infect eukaryotic phytoplankton. We identified inorgan...
متن کاملAlgal viruses hitchhiking on zooplankton across phytoplankton blooms
Viruses infecting marine phytoplankton are key biogeochemical 'engines' of the oceans, regulating the dynamics of algal populations and the fate of their extensive blooms. In addition they are important ecological and evolutionary drivers of microbial diversification. Yet, little is known about mechanisms influencing viral dispersal in aquatic systems, enabling the rapid infection and demise of...
متن کاملFunctional group-specific traits drive phytoplankton dynamics in the oligotrophic ocean.
A diverse microbial assemblage in the ocean is responsible for nearly half of global primary production. It has been hypothesized and experimentally demonstrated that nutrient loading can stimulate blooms of large eukaryotic phytoplankton in oligotrophic systems. Although central to balancing biogeochemical models, knowledge of the metabolic traits that govern the dynamics of these bloom-formin...
متن کاملWhen divergent life histories hybridize: insights into adaptive life-history traits in an annual weed.
*Colonizing weed populations face novel selective environments, which may drive rapid shifts in life history. These shifts may be amplified when colonists are hybrids of species with divergent life histories. Selection on such phenotypically diverse hybrids may create highly fecund weeds. We measured the phenotypic variation, strength of natural selection and evolutionary response of hybrid and...
متن کاملLife history traits of melon ladybeetle, Epilachna chrysomelina (Col.: Coccinellidae), on four host plant species
کفشدوزک خربزه، Epilachna chrysomelina (F.)، یکی از آفات کلیدی گیاهان جالیزی در آسیا و شمال آفریقا میباشد. طول دورهی رشد، تولید مثل و پارامترهای جدول زندگی این کفشدوزک روی گیاهان هندوانه، خیار چنبر، خیار و خربزه در شرایط آزمایشگاهی (دمای 30 درجهی سیلسیوس، رطوبت نسبی 60 درصد و طول دورهی روشنایی به تاریکی 14 به 10 ساعت) مطالعه شد. میانگین طول دورهی زندگی از تخم تا مرحلهی بلوغ ماده روی هندوانه، خیا...
