The Physarum polycephalum Genome Reveals Extensive Use of Prokaryotic Two-Component and Metazoan-Type Tyrosine Kinase Signaling
Genome Biology and Evolution.
Contributors: P. Schaap *, I. Barrantes *, P. Minx, N. Sasaki *, R. Anderson*, M. Beinard, K. Biggar*, N. Buehler
author keywords: Amoebozoa; tyrosine kinase receptor; two-component system; signaling; phytochrome
MeSH headings : Cell Cycle Proteins / genetics; Cell Cycle Proteins / metabolism; Evolution, Molecular; Genetic Loci; Genome, Protozoan; Physarum polycephalum / genetics; Protozoan Proteins / genetics; Protozoan Proteins / metabolism; Receptor Protein-Tyrosine Kinases / genetics; Receptor Protein-Tyrosine Kinases / metabolism; Signal Transduction; Transcriptome
TL;DR:
The analysis characterizes P. polycephalum as a prototypical eukaryote with features attributed to the last common ancestor of Amorphea, that is, the Amoebozoa and Opisthokonts, and argues against the later emergence of tyrosine kinase signaling in the opistHokont lineage.

Nitrogen:phosphorous supply ratio and allometry in five alpine plant species
Ecology and Evolution, 6(24), 8881–8892.
author keywords: above; and belowground biomass; allocation; allometry; N:P ratio; nutrient balance; P limitation; Tibetan Plateau
TL;DR:
Plant biomass allocation is highly plastic in response to variation in the N:P supply ratio, and studies of resource allocation of individual plants should focus on the effects of nutrient ratios as well as the availability of individual elements.

Increased diversity of Phytophthora species in Fraser fir Christmas tree plantations in the Southern Appalachians
Scandinavian Journal of Forest Research, 32(5), 412–420.
author keywords: Abies fraseri; North Carolina; Phytophthora cinnamomi; root rot; survey
TL;DR:
During 2014, Fraser fir Christmas tree plantations in the Southern Appalachians of North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia were surveyed to determine the occurrence of pathogenic root-rotting species of Phytophthora and the pathogenicity of P. citrophthora was confirmed based on completion of Koch's postulates.

Plant and root endophyte assembly history: interactive effects on native and exotic plants
Ecology.
author keywords: assembly history; Florida rosemary scrub; fungal root endophytes; invasion; priority effects; restoration
MeSH headings : Endophytes; Fungi / classification; Fungi / physiology; Introduced Species; Plant Roots / microbiology; Plants / classification; Plants / microbiology; Species Specificity; Time Factors
TL;DR:
Early introduction of a different plant species or fungi from a different site type eliminated negative effects of the exotic Melinis repens and the native Schizacharyium niveum, providing evidence for interactive priority effects.

Intraspecific variation in precipitation responses of a widespread C4grass depends on site water limitation
Journal of Plant Ecology.
author keywords: climate change; Panicum virgatum; phenology; phenotypic plasticity; precipitation
TL;DR:
Variation in genotype ANPP plasticity was explained primarily by variation in tiller and leaf growth, and was not associated with temperature or aridity at the genotype’s origin.

Historical and current climate drive spatial and temporal patterns in fungal endophyte diversity
Fungal Ecology.
author keywords: Ascomycota; Environmental filtering; Rainfall; Species sorting; Temperature; Warm-season grass

Tree species, spatial heterogeneity, and seasonality drive soil fungal abundance, richness, and composition in Neotropical rainforests
Environmental Microbiology.
MeSH headings : Ecosystem; Fungi; Rainforest; Seasons; Soil / chemistry; Soil Microbiology; Trees / microbiology; Trees / physiology; Tropical Climate
TL;DR:
The combined effects of tree species and seasonality suggest that predicted losses of tropical tree diversity and intensification of drought have the potential to cascade belowground to affect both diversity and abundance of tropical soil fungi.

author keywords: climate change; historical contingency; microbes; precipitation; soil enzymes; soil moisture
MeSH headings : Carbon / analysis; Climate; Rain; Seasons; Soil / chemistry; Soil Microbiology; Texas
