Microsclerotia of dark septate endophytic fungi from Paleogene and Neogene of Poland: fossil record and palaeoenvironmental significance of root fungal endophytes
Remains of microsclerotia morphologically corresponding to those of modern dark septate endophytic (DSE) fungi were found during palynological studies of some Oligocene and Miocene sites from Poland. Fossil microsclerotia, mostly represented by leaf-like morphotypes were morphologically diversified, but there was no possibility to match the fossil morphotypes with modern fungal DSE taxa forming microsclerotia in roots. Reliable fossils of microsclerotia of dark septate endophytic fungi date back to the Eocene and show continuous presence till recent times. They confirm the coexistence of dark septate endophytic fungi with plants at least from the beginning of the early Cenozoic. Pre-Cenozoic fossils of presumed DSE microsclerotia were considered doubtful. The presence of microsclerotia in continental deposits points to dense vegetation in the past, and in marine deposits, they indicate terrigenous flux that originated from coastal vegetation.
期刊介绍:
Fungal Biology publishes original contributions in all fields of basic and applied research involving fungi and fungus-like organisms (including oomycetes and slime moulds). Areas of investigation include biodeterioration, biotechnology, cell and developmental biology, ecology, evolution, genetics, geomycology, medical mycology, mutualistic interactions (including lichens and mycorrhizas), physiology, plant pathology, secondary metabolites, and taxonomy and systematics. Submissions on experimental methods are also welcomed. Priority is given to contributions likely to be of interest to a wide international audience.
