Environmental Conditions and Grazing Exerted Effects on Arbuscular Mycorrhizal in Plants at Southern Patagonia Rangelands
(Elsevier, 2022-03)
Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi play a major role in maintaining ecosystem functions. AM fungi are found in most ecosystems including rangelands currently under increasing pressures from human activities. Southern Patagonia ...
Burkholderia from fungus gardens of fungus-growing ants produce antifungals that inhibit the specialized parasite Escovopsis.
(2021-06)
Within animal-associated microbiomes, the functional roles of specific microbial taxa are often uncharacterized. Here, we use the fungus-growing ant system, a model for microbial symbiosis, to determine the potential ...
The enhancement of invasion ability of an annual grass by its fungal endophyte depends on recipient community structure
(Springer, 2016-07)
Most terrestrial plants establish symbiotic associations with microorganisms that enable them to overcome abiotic or biotic filters in ecosystems. Here we investigated how aerial mutualisms involving invasive species may ...
Retrotransposon and CRISPR/Cas9‑mediated knockout of NOD26 impairs the legume‑rhizobia symbiosis
(Springer, 2022-07)
The multifunctional channel NOD26, identified and extensively studied (both biochemically and biophysically) in soybean, is a major protein component of the symbiosome membrane. The water and ammonia transport activities ...
A functional role for the colleters of coffee flowers

Direct and indirect effects of the fungal endophyte Epichloë uncinatum on litter decomposition of the host grass, Schedonorus pratensis
(Springer, 2017-09)
Microbial plant symbionts have been suggested to mediate plant-soil feedback and affect ecosystem functions. Systemic Epichloë fungal endophytes of grasses are found to mediate litter decomposition. These effects are often ...
Patchiness of grass mycorrhizal colonization in the Patagonian steppe
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2017-02)
In arid and semi-arid ecosystems vegetation is often arranged in high-density patches imbedded in an extensive matrix dominated by bare soil. This study explores the importance of vegetation pattern in the relationship ...
Epichloë Fungal Endophytes and Plant Defenses: Not Just Alkaloids
(Elsevier Science London, 2017-11)
Although the role of fungal alkaloids in protecting grasses associated with Epichloë fungal endophytes has been extensively documented, the effects of the symbiont on the host plant's immune responses have received little ...
