Lichen associations, a classic model for successful and sustainable interactions between
micro-organisms, have been studied for many years. However, there are significant gaps in …

Abstract Background Lichens, encompassing 20,000 known species, are symbioses
between specialized fungi (mycobionts), mostly ascomycetes, and unicellular green algae or …

Definition Lichens have long been considered as composite organisms composed of algae
and/or cyanobacteria hosted by a fungus in a mutualistic relationship. Other organisms have …

Lichen secondary metabolites (polyketides) are produced by the fungal partner, but the role
of algal carbohydrates in polyketide biosynthesis is not clear. This study examined whether …

Apple exhibits S‐RN ase‐mediated self‐incompatibility. Although the cytotoxic effect of S‐
RN ase inside the self‐pollen tube has been studied extensively, the underlying defence …

It is widely recognized that the lichen is the product of a fungus and a photosynthetic partner
(green alga or cyanobacterium), but its acceptance was slow to develop throughout history …

Organisms have evolved different cellular mechanisms to deal with environmental stress,
primarily through complex molecular mechanisms including protein refolding and DNA …

The biosynthesis of two polyketides, atranorin and fumarprotocetraric acid, produced from a
lichen-forming fungus, Cladonia rangiferina (L.) FH Wigg. was correlated with the …

Lichens are slow-growing niche-constructing organisms formed via scripted
symbiotic/mutualist relationships between fungi, algae, and bacteria. We have used quick …
