MACARONESIA ACTS AS A MUSEUM OF GENETIC DIVERSITY OF RELICT FERNS: THE CASE OF DIPLAZIUM CAUDATUM (ATHYRIACEAE)

Macaronesia Acts as a Museum of Genetic Diversity of Relict Ferns: The Case of Diplazium caudatum (Athyriaceae)

Macaronesia has been considered a refuge region of the formerly widespread subtropical lauroid flora that lived in Southern Europe during the Tertiary.The study of relict angiosperms has shown that Macaronesian relict taxa preserve genetic variation and revealed general patterns of colonization and dispersal.However, information on the conservation

Temporal Dynamics of Endogenous Bacterial Composition in Rice Seeds During Maturation and Storage, and Spatial Dynamics of the Bacteria During Seedling Growth

Seed endophytes are of interest because they are believed to affect seed quality, and ultimately, plant growth and fitness.A comprehensive understanding of the assembly of the seed microbiome during seed development and maturation, the fate of microbes during storage, and the migration of microbes during seedling growth are still lacking.In this st
