Alchemica Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) Cool new papers. Ever wondered what the symbiotic funkiness of Convolvulaceae looked like? In this pic: The fungus/plant symbioses Periglandula/Ipomoea or Periglandula/Turbina: flowers of the host plant I. asarifolia (A), I. asarifolia (red blooming) (, T. corymbosa ©; epiphytic colonization of a young leaf of T. corymbosa by P. turbinae forming typical mycelium mats along the veins (D, E); ergoline alkaloids visualized by their UV-auto fluorescence within the mycelium of a young colony of P. ipomoeae (F); a peltate glandular trichome (pgt) encircled by hyphae of P. ipomoeae forming the interface of the symbiotum (G); formation of an appressorium-like structure (ap) on the cuticle of the secretory cell of the glandular trichome indicating the close contact of fungus and plant in the symbiosis (H); hyphae (hy) of P. ipomoeae embedded in the matrix (m) of subcuticular space of the peltate glandular trichome (pgt) (I).
