Abstract In terrestrial ecosystems, plant roots are colonized by various clades of mycorrhizal and endophytic fungi. Focused on the root systems an oak‐dominated temperate forest in J apan, we used 454 pyrosequencing to explore how phylogenetically diverse fungi constitute ecological community multiple ecotypes. total, 345 operational taxonomic units ( OTU s) were found from 159 terminal‐root samples 12 species occurring forest. Due dominance oak Q uercus serrata ), ectomycorrhizal such as R...
Plants influence their soil environment, which affects the next generation of seedlings that can be established. While research has shown such plant-soil feedbacks occur in presence mycorrhizal fungi, it remains unclear when and how fungi mediate direction strength tree communities. Here we show arbuscular ectomycorrhizal fungal guilds differently to large-scale patterns as species coexistence succession. When are grown under same type forest, plant exhibit negative or neutral do positive...
Proliferating-cell nuclear antigen (PCNA; also called cyclin) was originally described in proliferating mammalian cells as a protein with an apparent Mr of 33,000-36,000 and recently found to be DNA polymerase delta auxiliary protein. To elucidate whether PCNA/cyclin is universal necessary for proliferation eukaryotes, search conducted homologues higher plants. In Southern blot-hybridization analysis, rat cDNA probe hybridized homologous sequences genomic DNAs from rice, soybean, tobacco. A...
Organelle (mitochondria and chloroplasts in plants) genomes lost a large number of genes after endosymbiosis occurred. Even this major gene loss, organelle still lose their own genes, even those that are essential, via transfer to the nucleus substitution either different origin or de novo genes. Gene events important processes evolution eukaryotic cell. loss is an ongoing process mitochondria higher plants. The for ribosomal protein S16 (rps16) encoded chloroplast genome most plants but not...
Abstract In natural forests, hundreds of fungal species colonize plant roots. The preference or specificity for partners in these symbiotic relationships is a key to understanding how the community structures root‐associated fungi and their host plants influence each other. an oak‐dominated forest Japan, we investigated based on pyrosequencing analysis roots 33 species. Of 387 taxa observed, 153 (39.5%) were identified at least two Although many mycorrhizal root‐endophytic are shared between...
ABSTRACT Oak wilt causes severe dieback of Quercus serrata , a dominant tree species in the lowlands across Japan. This study evaluated effects oak on wood‐inhabiting fungal community and decay rate deadwood using field monitoring experiment. We analysed metabarcoding from 1200 wood samples obtained 120 experimental logs three forest sites at five different time points during initial 1.5 years Death due to significantly influenced composition reduced diversity, likely dominance limited...
Abstract Warming may have profound effects on nitrogen (N) cycling by changing plant N demand and underground supply. However, large uncertainty exists regarding how warming affects the integrated dynamic in tropical forests. We translocated model plant‐soil ecosystems from a high‐altitude site (600 m) to low‐altitude sites at 300 30 m simulate 1.0°C 2.1°C, respectively, China. The of experimental components plant, soil, leaching, gas were studied over 6 years. Our results showed that foliar...
Estuarine and coastal ecosystems are important habitats for many fish species. Large-scale patterns of estuarine communities can be affected by geographical factors, such as water temperature latitude, that limit or allow dispersal, and/or environmental factors select locally adapted Furthermore, increased human activity has also altered diversity modifying estuarine/coastal environments. Here, we used DNA metabarcoding to study a large-scale pattern across 25 watersheds in the Japanese...
Phosphorus (P) is often one of the most limiting nutrients in highly weathered soils humid tropical forests and may regulate responses carbon (C) feedback to climate warming. However, response P warming at ecosystem level not well understood because previous studies have comprehensively assessed changes multiple processes associated with Here, we detected cycle a 7-year continuous experiment by translocating model plant-soil ecosystems across 600-m elevation gradient, equivalent temperature...
Diverse clades of mycorrhizal and endophytic fungi are potentially involved in competitive or facilitative interactions within host-plant roots. We investigated the potential consequences these ecological on assembly process root-associated by examining co-occurrence pairs individuals. Based massively-parallel pyrosequencing, we analyzed fungal community composition for each 249 Quercus serrata 188 glauca seedlings sampled a warm-temperate secondary forest Japan. Pairs that co-occurred more...
Abstract Mounting evidence suggests that reciprocal interactions between plants and the soil microbiota can be a primary force generates key macroscopic patterns of plant communities (coexistence, dominance, succession) in forest ecosystems. The aim this article is to review empirical theoretical perspectives plant–soil feedback research context community ecology. I first use simple model get insights into an array dynamics generated by feedback: negative maintains species diversity reduces...
An auxin-binding protein (ABP) was previously isolated from shoot apices of peach trees to homogenity on standard SDS-PAGE. Analysis low-bis SDS-PAGE and direct peptide sequencing purified ABP demonstrated that the composed two types polypeptides (designated ABP19 ABP20). Several cDNA ge-nomic clones which encode ABPs were obtained analysed. We found there are at least three classes in genome. Open reading frames these 627 bp, predicting a 209 amino acid poly-peptide 22 kDa. N-terminal...
Abstract Soil microbes are considered to be a key determinant of the aboveground plant community. They not distributed uniformly in environment, and their activity, abundance, ecosystem functioning could vary across localities, characterized by high β ‐diversity. Investigating factors that contribute ‐diversity can help infer possible mechanisms microbial community assembly, predict scale extent impacts soil have on Because systems consist multiple horizons (i.e., vertical stratification)...
A study of the insect community inhabiting wood-decaying bracket fungus, Cryptoporus volvatus was used to test two hypotheses proposed account for competitive coexistence species in communities patchy environments, niche partitioning and spatial mechanisms.A total 8990 individuals belonging 17 emerged from 438 sporocarps (patches) collected field.Insect richness increased then declined with increase biomass reared a sporocarp, suggesting potential importance interspecific...
Biogeographical variation in community assembly processes forms the basis of latitudinal gradient biodiversity by driving β‐diversity. Classical studies on predict environmental filtering affecting β‐diversity more strongly at higher latitudes, where productivity is lower and abiotic stress stronger. Contrary to this prediction, recent evidence indicates that plant composition latitudes exhibits spatially clustered distributions independently background environments, suggesting importance...
Ecosystems that exhibit alternative stable states are a prominent challenge for ecological restoration. So far, have been addressed from two different angles: community assembly studies, which focus on species and their interactions, regime shift changes in ecosystem following environmental change. Here, we propose synthetic perspective merges the with approach to effectively inform restoration of ecosystems exhibiting states. We show approaches emphasized aspects (i.e., coarse vs fine...
We investigated the competition–colonization dynamics of three species spore‐feeding beetles on wood‐decaying bracket fungi, Ganoderma spp., in New Zealand. One beetle ( Holopsis sp. 1) was a pore‐tube specialist hypothesized to be superior exploitative competition; other two Zearagytodes maculifer and 2) were surface grazers. surveyed abundance, daily spore release per square centimetre, pore area, environmental variables over 30 patches (sporocarps) monthly for one year. constructed...
