Alder and the Golden Fleece: high diversity of Frankia and ectomycorrhizal fungi revealed from Alnus glutinosa subsp. barbata roots close to a Tertiary and glacial refugium
BACKGROUND Recent climatic history has strongly impacted plant populations, but little is known about its effect on microbes. Alders, which host few and specific symbionts, have high genetic diversity in glacial refugia. Here, we tested the prediction that communities of root symbionts survived in refugia with their host populations. We expected to detect endemic symbionts and a higher species ...
متن کاملPhotosynthetic and leaf water potential responses of Alnus glutinosa saplings to stem-base inoculaton with Phytophthora alni subsp. alni.
Three-year-old Alnus glutinosa (L.) Gaertn. (alder) saplings were single or double inoculated at the stem base with Phytophthora alni subsp. alni Brasier & S.A. Kirk under natural climatic conditions. Lesion formation on the bark showed a biphasic pattern of development, with extension occurring at a moderate rate in spring, and more rapidly during late summer. However, large variability was en...
متن کاملOxygen supply to plant roots in cultivated mineral soils
Roots of all plant species need oxygen for growth, and most crops are supplied with oxygen mainly from soil air. Poor aeration is generally a problem only in wet soils. In compacted soils both large mechanical impedance and poor aeration inhibit the growth of roots and may lead to yield reductions. In this study, the variation in soil air composition, N2O emission and several environmental vari...
متن کاملPhotosynthesis: New light on biological oxygen production
In oxygenic photosynthesis, a highly oxidising chlorophyll species strips electrons out of two water molecules, generating molecular oxygen as a waste product. A recent study has provided new insights into the structure of the molecular machinery responsible for biological oxygen production.
متن کاملLight stress is not effective to enhanced crassulacean acid metabolism.
Clusia minor L., a C3-CAM intermediate, and Clusia multiflora H. B. K., a C3 obligate, present two physiotypes of a similar morphotype occurring sympatrically in the field. Both species, exposed 2 days to high light, show similar responses to this kind of stress: (i) the level of xanthophyll pigments in tested plants during the daycourse adapts to stress, (ii) the levels of antheraxanthin and z...
