Journal ArticleDOI
Four hundred-million-year-old vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizae
TL;DR: The discovery of arbuscules in Aglaophyton major, an Early Devonian land plant, provides unequivocal evidence that mycorrhizae were established >400 million years ago and indicates that nutrient transfer mutualism may have been in existence when plants invaded the land.
Journal ArticleDOI

James,Kerry O'Donnell,Robert W. Roberson,Thomas N. Taylor,Jessie K. Uehling,Rytas Vilgalys,Merlin M. White,Jason E. Stajich +17 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that zygomycetes comprise two major clades that form a paraphyletic grade, and the phyla Mucoromycota and ZoopagomyCota are circumscribed.
Book
Paleobotany: The Biology and Evolution of Fossil Plants
TL;DR: This book provides up-to-date coverage of fossil plants from Precambrian life to flowering plants, including fungi and algae, and major groups of land plants both living and extinct.
Book
The Biology and Evolution of Fossil Plants
Thomas N. Taylor,Edith L. Taylor +1 more
TL;DR: The structure and organization of vascular plants early land plants with conducting tissue lycopods sphenophytes ferns progymnosperms origin and evolution of the seed habit, and plant/animal interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fungal endophytes in a 400-million-yr-old land plant: infection pathways, spatial distribution, and host responses.
TL;DR: The host responses indicate that some of the mechanisms causing host responses in extant plants were in place 400 million yr ago, and Anatomical and life history features of N. aphylla suggest that this plant may have been particularly susceptible to colonization by fungi.
