EXPANDING THE BIOLOGICAL ROLE OF LIPO-CHITOOLIGOSACCHARIDES AND CHITOOLIGOSACCHARIDES IN LACCARIA BICOLOR GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT

Expanding the Biological Role of Lipo-Chitooligosaccharides and Chitooligosaccharides in Laccaria bicolor Growth and Development

The role of lipo-chitooligosaccharides (LCOs) as signaling molecules that mediate the establishment of symbiotic relationships between fungi and Carving Boards plants is being redefined.New evidence suggests that the production of these molecular signals may be more of a common trait in fungi than what was previously thought.LCOs affect different a

Long-term assessment of whale shark population demography and connectivity using photo-identification in the Western Atlantic Ocean.

The predictable occurrence of whale sharks, Rhincodon typus, has been well documented in several areas.However, information relating to their migratory patterns, residency times and connectivity across broad spatial scales is limited.In the present study photo-identification data is used to describe whale shark population structure and connectivity
