... may or may not be influenced by microbial symbioses and, in doing so, provide a holistic view of the budding discipline of developmental symbiosis. Animal-microbe symbioses can also be maintained through horizontal acquisitions. This type of transmission occurs when a symbiosis is non-continuous...

... protocol on a broad phylogenetic range of species inhabiting diverse ecological niches, including non-models and cultivated crops. In L. japonicus , nodulation symbiosis triggers the de novo formation of bacteria-filled nodule organs. This process is accompanied by the establishment of novel barrier...

... for arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis. The moss Physcomitrella patens has a close homolog ( VPY-like , VPYL ), although it does not form AM. Here, we explore the phylogeny of VPY and VPYL in land plants, and study the expression and developmental function of VPYL in P . patens . We show that VPYL...

Regression of this tissue begins within hours of exposure to symbiosis-competent bacteria and progresses over the next 5 days, at which time full regression is complete, resulting in a symbiotic organ whose epithelial surface...
