Galium aparine is known by a variety of common names in English. They include ' 'sweetheart', 'hitchhikers, cleavers, [2] clivers, bedstraw, (small) goosegrass (not to be confused with other plants known as goosegrass), [2] catchweed, [2] stickyweed, sticky bob, [3] stickybud, stickyback, sticky molly, robin-run-the-hedge, sticky willy, [2] [4] sticky willow, stickyjack, stickeljack, grip ...
The rhizosphere is the thin area of soil immediately surrounding the root system. It is a densely populated area in which the roots compete with invading root systems of neighboring plant species for space, water, and mineral nutrients as well as form positive and negative relationships with soil-borne microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and insects.
Plant seeds exudate a variety of molecules into the spermosphere, [13] and roots exudate into the rhizosphere; these exudates include acids, sugars, polysaccharides and ectoenzymes, and collectively account for 40% of root carbon. [14] Exudation of these compounds has various benefits to the plant and to the microorganisms of the rhizosphere ...
Galls (upper left and right) formed on acorns on the branch of a pedunculate (or English) oak tree by the parthenogenetic generation Andricus quercuscalicis.. The large 2 cm gall growth appears as a mass of green to yellowish-green, ridged, and at first sticky plant tissue on the bud of the oak, that breaks out as the gall between the cup and the acorn.
Nod factors are potentially recognized by plant receptors made of two histidine kinases with extracellular LysM domain, which have been identified in L. japonicus, soybean, and M. truncatula [5]. Binding of Nod factors to these receptors depolarizes the plasma membrane of root hairs via an influx of Ca +2 which induce the expression of early ...
Ageratina adenophora (synonym Eupatorium adenophorum), commonly known as Crofton weed, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae native to Mexico and Central America. Originally grown as an ornamental plant, it has become invasive into farmland and bushland worldwide. It is toxic to horses, which develop a respiratory disease ...
Geranium viscosissimum displayed a capability to digest and absorb the 14 C-labeled algal protein placed on the sticky trichomes that the plant possesses. However, it is not known whether the digestive enzymes were produced by the plant itself or surface microbes. [ 5 ]
The ability of the same AM fungi to colonize many species of plants has ecological implications. Plants of different species can be linked underground to a common mycelial network. [43] One plant may provide the photosynthate carbon for the establishment of the mycelial network that another plant of a different species can utilize for mineral ...
