Endophytic Bacterial Community, Core Taxa, and Functional Variations Within the Fruiting Bodies of <i>Laccaria</i> by Kaixuan Zhang, Xin Chen, Xiaofei Shi, Zhenyan Yang, Lian Yang, Dong Liu, Fuqiang Yu

“…By analyzing bacterial diversity, community structure, and function through 16S rRNA sequencing, we observed the following: (1) In total, 4,840,291 high-quality bacterial sequences obtained from the fruiting bodies were grouped into 16,577 amplicon sequence variants (ASVs), and all samples comprised 23 shared bacterial ASVs. (2) The <i>Allorhizobium</i>-<i>Neorhizobium</i>-<i>Pararhizobium</i>-<i>Rhizobium</i> complex was found to be the most abundant and presumably coexisting bacterium. (3) A network analysis revealed that endophytic bacteria formed functional groups, which were dominated by the genera <i>Allorhizobium</i>-<i>Neorhizobium</i>-<i>Pararhizobium</i>-<i>Rhizobium</i>, <i>Novosphingobium</i>, and <i>Variovorax</i>. (4) The diversity, community structure, and dominance of ecological functions (chemoheterotrophy and nitrogen cycling) among endophytic bacteria were significantly shaped by geographic location, habitat, and fungal genotype, rather than fruiting body type. (5) A large number of the endophytic bacteria within <i>Laccaria</i> are bacteria that promote plant growth; however, some pathogenic bacteria that pose a threat to human health might also be present. …”

Plant sex influences on riparian communities and ecosystems by River P. Scheuerell, Carri J. LeRoy

“…Here we systematically review the influences of plant sex on plant traits, influences of plant traits on terrestrial community members, and how interactions between plant traits and terrestrial community members can influence terrestrial ecosystem functions in riparian forests. We then extend these influences into adjacent aquatic ecosystem functions and aquatic communities to explore how plant sex might influence linked terrestrial‐aquatic systems as well as the physical structure of riparian systems. …”
