Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in a voltzialean conifer from the Triassic of Antarctica
(2015)Mycorrhizas are intimate mutualistic relationships between plants and fungi that represent an integral component of ancient and extant ecosystems. These symbioses have been established for at least 400 million years and ... -
Cheirolepidiaceous diversity: an anatomically preserved pollen cone from the Lower Jurassic of southern Victoria Land, Antarctica
(2015)To date, the vast majority of fossils described for the extinct conifer family, the Cheirolepidiaceae, have been reported from compression/impressions primarily from Cretaceous rocks; there are fewer reports from ... -
Fungal sporulation in a Permian plant fragment from Antarctica. Bulletin of Geosciences
(2018)Documented evidence of fungi from the Permian of Antarctica mostly consists of dispersed remains that do not provide the whole complement of diagnostic features necessary to determine even broad systematic affinities. A ... -
Fungi associated with Glossopteris (Glossopteridales) leaves from the Permian of Antarctica: A preliminary report
(2015)Fungi today occur on virtually every plant part, living and dead, and represent a significant proportion of fungal diversity. Arborescent seed ferns characterized by large, tongue-shaped leaves with reticulate venation ... -
Mycorrhizal symbiosis in the Paleozoic seed fern Glossopteris from Antarctica
(2013)Mycorrhizal associations occur in almost all modern plant groups and are probably one of the most important forms of symbioses in the context of terrestrial ecology and evolution. Surprisingly, there is a paucity of ... -
Structurally preserved fungi from Antarctica: Diversity and interactions in late Paleozoic and Mesozoic polar forest ecosystems.
(2016)Chert and silicified wood from the Permian through Cretaceous of Antarctica contain abundant information on fungal diversity and plant–fungal interactions. The chert deposits represent a particularly interesting setting ... -
Tylosis formation and fungal interactions in an Early Jurassic conifer from northern Victoria Land, Antarctica
(2012)Well-preserved fungi occur in permineralized conifer axes from the Lower Jurassic of northern Victoria Land, Antarctica. The fungus is characterized by septate hyphae extending through the vascular ray system via penetration ...
