Phylogenomics reveals the evolutionary origins of lichenization in chlorophyte algae nature.com/articles/s4146… Nature Communications

Amazing work! New genomes & transcriptomes of lichen algal symbionts (& non-symbiotic algae) show 1) 3 independent gains of the ability to engage in the lichen symbiosis in chlorophyte algae (so, convergent evolution), & 2) due to a combination of gene family expansion &

Curious about how lichens evolved their unique symbiosis?🌱🍄New research reveals convergent evolution and the role of horizontal gene transfer in acquiring key enzymes. Discover this groundbreaking study! Keller Jean Francesco Dal Grande Camille Puginier nature.com/articles/s4146…

Hiking and taking lichens pictures ☀️🏔️

New #preprint alert! #Lichen symbiosis is a great conundrum: how can multiple microbes create a large, 3D, and structurally complex organism? To answer this question, we used metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, and a bit of protein structure modeling 🧵1/7 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Ectomycorrhizal symbiosis evolved independently and by convergent gene duplication in rosid lineages biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_plants

The convergent evolution of ectomycorrhizal lifestyles has been extensively studied within fungal lineages. The evolution of symbiosis in plant lineages remains comparatively underexplored, making this study particularly valuable … biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
