Mitochondrial iron transporter ClMrs3/4 regulates iron homeostasis to modulate nitric oxide balance facilitating appressorial development in Curvularia lunata

Iron is indispensable for the vast majority of organisms, and iron homeostasis plays a pivotal role in both the physiology and pathogenesis of fungal pathogens. However, the underlying mechanisms by.....

📢 Funded PhD opportunities for UK candidates in beautiful Edinburgh. Get in touch if you're interested in a PhD on understanding the mechanisms of soil carbon cycling and the role of microbes. We work in different ecosystems: peatlands, forests and agricultural soils. Please repost/spread the word.

Poster showing the following text: PhD in microbial mechanisms of soil carbon cycling. Soil microbes shape the global carbon cycle in life and death. We study the effect of aboveground land management on belowground soil carbon cycling processes. We aim create a scalable understanding of microbial processes from single cells to populations to communities to ecosystems. Pictures with text: peatland restoration, sustainable agriculture and woodland regeneration.

Bryophytes hold a larger gene family space than vascular plants - Nature Genetics

A super-pangenome analysis incorporating 123 newly sequenced bryophyte genomes reveals that bryophytes exhibit a larger number of unique and lineage-specific gene families than vascular plants.

The bright green, feathery moss Thuidium sp. is widely distributed across the globe—from tropical cloud forests to temperate forests. In nitrogen-poor ecosystems, Thuidium sp. and other mosses are heavily colonised by nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria, contributing significantly to total ecosystem nitrogen input.
