Control of theAzollasymbiosis sexual reproduction: ferns to shed light on the origin of floral regulation?

Abstract: SummaryRegulation of the transition from vegetative to spore-forming phases in ferns is largely unknown yet a pre-requisite for their domestication. External and endogenous cues regulating the formation of sporocarps were researched in Azolla ferns, that are heterosporous and constitute a symbiosis with the cyanobacteria Nostoc azollae.Once external cues were identified, small RNA and mRNA from eukaryotic and prokaryotic partners in the symbiosis were analyzed for differential accumulation upon transition to s… Show more

“…At the shoot tips, the cabbage-like crop of leaves tightly conceals the important shoot-apical Nostoc colony (SANC) and large ST. The small and likely motile SANC filaments inoculate newly forming leaf initials and sporocarps, for vertical transfer of Nostoc to the next generation (Dijkhuizen et al, 2021). Inside the cavities of the upper leaf lobes, mature N 2 -fixing Nostoc filaments are typically found along with a variety of ST.…”

“…The four Azolla species used in this study were A. filiculoides (Li et al, 2018), A. pinnata originating from the Botanical Gardens of Antwerp (Belgium), an Azolla species from the Anzali lagoon (Iran) which was phylogenetically analyzed but could not be assigned to any of the described Azolla species (Dijkhuizen et al, 2021) and an unknown Azolla species collected from the Botanical Gardens of Bordeaux (France). Adult Azolla sporophytes were grown in modified IRRI-medium as previously described (Brouwer et al, 2017) Distinguishably yellow-colored clumps of megasporocarps, held together by the glochidia of the massulae, could then be hand-picked from the shallow water and used.…”
