Damming-associated landscape change benefits a wind-dispersed pioneer plant species
Landscape changes by anthropologic activities such as damming threaten local biodiversity through deforestation and subsequent geographic isolation....
-
Contrasting responses of new pioneer and fibrous roots exposed to nitrogen deposition: a field study using three woody species
AimsWithin root systems, framework pioneer roots mainly function in soil exploration and resource transport, while fibrous roots and their associated...

Population differentiation and dynamics of five pioneer species of Gaultheria from the secondary forests in subtropical China
BackgroundThe influence of native secondary succession associated with anthropogenic disturbance on the biodiversity of the forests in subtropical...

Spatial self-segregation of pioneer cyanobacterial species drives microbiome organization in biocrusts
Microbial communities are typically characterized by some degree of self-organization. In biological soil crust (biocrust) communities, vertical...

Climatic regulation of the non-structural and structural carbon in the pioneer Senna multijuga and non-pioneer Hymenaea aurea trees of a humid tropical rainforest
Key messageStructural and non-structural carbon pools of Senna multijuga and Hymenaea aurea provide future projections on carbon dynamics in other...
-
Global warming could shorten the seed lifespan of pioneer tree species and thus natural regeneration window of damaged areas
Prolonged periods without precipitation in spring prevent timely and rapid germination of pioneer tree seeds and could lead to an accelerated loss of...
-
Time since fire affects ecological stoichiometry of plant–soil–microbial systems of Betula platyphylla, a pioneer species in burnt areas of China’s boreal forest
Plant stoichiometry and nutrient allocation may reflect adaptation strategies to environmental nutrient changes. Fire, as a major disturbance in...
-
Different pioneer plant species have similar rhizosphere microbial communities
PurposeThe interactions between rhizosphere microorganisms and pioneer plants play important roles in the restoration of ecological functions after a...

Effects of root-colonizing fungi on pioneer Pinus thunbergii seedlings in primary successional volcanic mudflow on Kuchinoerabu Island, Japan
Root-colonizing fungi, such as mycorrhizal fungi and dark septate endophyte fungi, are often found on pioneer plant species during early primary...
-
Protein-intrinsic properties and context-dependent effects regulate pioneer factor binding and function
Chromatin is a barrier to the binding of many transcription factors. By contrast, pioneer factors access nucleosomal targets and promote chromatin...
-
The pioneer factor SOX9 competes for epigenetic factors to switch stem cell fates
During development, progenitors simultaneously activate one lineage while silencing another, a feature highly regulated in adult stem cells but...

Thymus algeriensis Boiss. et Reut., a north African endemic plant species: genetic diversity and population structure as assessed by molecular markers, a pioneer step for conservation implications
BackgroundThymus algeriensis Boiss. et Reut. is one of the most widespread North African species of the genus Thymus L. The species is subshrub...

SeATAC: a tool for exploring the chromatin landscape and the role of pioneer factors
Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin with sequencing (ATAC-seq) reveals chromatin accessibility across the genome. Currently, no method...
-
Plant growth-promoting and heavy metal-resistant Priestia and Bacillus strains associated with pioneer plants from mine tailings
Open mine tailings dams are extreme artificial environments containing sizeable potentially toxic elements (PTEs), including heavy metals (HMs),...
-
Pioneer factors as master regulators of the epigenome and cell fate
Pioneer factors are transcription factors with the unique ability to initiate opening of closed chromatin. The stability of cell identity relies on...
-
Kinetic principles underlying pioneer function of GAGA transcription factor in live cells
How pioneer factors interface with chromatin to promote accessibility for transcription control is poorly understood in vivo. Here, we directly...
-
Evidence of endophytic nitrogen fixation as a potential mechanism supporting colonization of non-nodulating pioneer plants on a glacial foreland
The ability of non-nodulating pioneer plants on newly exposed glacial till to obtain atmospheric N 2 was investigated using both acetylene reduction...
