Investigating the Production of Secondary Compounds in Cultured Lichen Mycobionts
Lichens produce an amazing diversity of compounds, which can be divided into two groups: intracellularly produced primary metabolites, and secondary... -

Structural Diversity of Lichen Metabolites and Their Potential Use
Lichens are symbiotic organisms composed of a fungal partner, the mycobiont, usually in association with one or more photosynthetic partners, the... -
Group I intron lateral transfer between red and brown algal ribosomal RNA
How group I introns originate in nuclear ribosomal (r)RNA genes is an important question in evolutionary biology. Central to this issue is the...

Reproductive Biology of Lichens
Lichens are among the most widely distributed eukaryotic organisms in the world (Galun 1988) and already about 14000 lichen species are known. Since... -
Fungal Molecular Evolution: Gene Trees and Geologic Time
Fungal phylogenetics has always been based on characters, but technological and intellectual advances are introducing new kinds of characters and new... -

The Symbiotic Phenotype of Lichen-Forming Ascomycetes
Lichens are the symbiotic phenotype of lichen-forming fungi, a polyphyletic, taxonomically heterogenous assembly of nutritional specialists which... -
Basidiolichens
Originally, basidiolichens were considered to be exclusively tropical lichens, best represented by the genera Cora and Dictyonema. In his monograph... -
Variability in the rbcL Introns of Caulerpalean Algae (Chlorophyta, Ulvophyceae)
gene have been reported to date. Four new cases from Caulerpales, Ulvophyceae are described here. In the genus Caulerpa , the presence of an intron...

Ascomycota
The fungi that constitute the Ascomycota undergo meiosis after the formation of a short-lived zygote and produce meiospores by free-cell formation... -
The cyanobacterial origin and vertical transmission of the plastid tRNALeu group-I intron
We have surveyed the distribution and reconstructed the phylogeny of the group-I intron that is positioned in the anticodon loop of the tRNA Leu gene...

An exceptional group-I intron-like insertion in the SSU rDNA of lichen mycobionts
An exceptional group-I intron-like insertion at position 940 of the nuclear small subunit rDNA is found in lichen mycobionts of the families...

Metabolic Interactions at the Mycobiont-Photobiont Interface in Lichens
Lichen-forming fungi are, like plant pathogens or mycorrhizal fungi, a polyphyletic, taxonomically heterogeneous group of nutritional specialists... -
Ontological Fundamentals
Metaphysics (or ontology or philosophical cosmology) is a traditional branch of philosophy and as such it need not be justified in the eyes of the... -
Structural and Functional Aspects of Mycobiont - Photobiont Relationships in Lichens Compared with Mycorrhizae and Plant Pathogenic Interactions
Lichen-forming fungi are, like plant pathogens or mycorrhizal fungi, a taxonomically heterogeneous, polyphyletic group of nutritional specialists...
