Plant scientists celebrate new woody plant genome.
Our friends often remind us that scientists are strange beasts. As such, it is fitting that we should rejoice at the release of a major new genome by further scholarship and analysis – using the genome to unravel new elements of plant physiology and evolution. In this Feature Issue we celebrate the completion of the genome of Eucalyptus grandis (Myburg et al., 2014), the first representative of...
متن کاملA Proposal to Collect Bryophytes (mosses, Liverworts, and Hornworts) from the Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve
Bryophytes are the first lands plants that include three distinct lineages: mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. They differ primarily from the flowering plants by lacking roots, flowers, seeds, and a defined system of tissues for transporting fluids throughout the plant. Bryophytes reproduce not by seeds, but rather, single-celled spores. Many bryophytes can also form new plants by vegetative me...
متن کاملRelationships between soil fungal and woody plant assemblages differ between ridge and valley habitats in a subtropical mountain forest.
Elucidating interactions of above-ground and below-ground communities in different habitat types is essential for understanding biodiversity maintenance and ecosystem functioning. Using 454 pyrosequencing of ITS2 sequences we examined the relationship between subtropical mountain forest soil fungal communities, abiotic conditions, and plant communities using correlation and partial models. Ridg...
متن کاملWoody Plant Encroachment into Grasslands: Spatial Patterns of Functional Group Distribution and Community Development
Woody plant encroachment into grasslands has been globally widespread. The woody species invading grasslands represent a variety of contrasting plant functional groups and growth forms. Are some woody plant functional types (PFTs) better suited to invade grasslands than others? To what extent do local patterns of distribution and abundance of woody PFTs invading grasslands reflect intrinsic top...
متن کاملPlant Community Water Use and Invasibility of Semi-arid Shrublands by Woody Species in Southern California
Soil moisture is a key limiting resource in arid and semi-arid environments for woody shrub species. We assessed if three arid communities differed in their level of dry season soil moisture content and if the dominant species in these communities differed in their ability to use soil moisture. Water potential of all of the dominant woody plant species occurring in chaparral, coastal sage, and ...
