Hidden fungi, emergent properties: endophytes and microbiomes. (2011, background): “Comparative genomics, metagenomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics are changing our perception of plant-microbial interactions (41, 140).”
Genomics of Secondary Metabolism in Populus: Interactions with Biotic and Abiotic Environments (2009, background): “Some studies indicated that condensed tannins had no apparent anti-herbivore activity (Lindroth and Hwang 1996; Ayres et al., 1997; Schweitzer et al., 2008).”
Rising concentrations of atmospheric CO2 have increased growth in natural stands of quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) (2009, background): “Aspen and related poplars are thus quintessential foundation species (Ellison et al., 2005), shaping the structure and function of the communities and ecosystems in which they occur (Whitham et al., 2006; Schweitzer et al., 2008; Madritch et al., 2009).”
Spectroscopic determination of ecologically relevant plant secondary metabolites (2016, background): “For example, tannins prevent stress through protection from photodamage (Close & McArthur 2002) and alter nutrient cycling by reducing litter decomposition rates, forming protein complexes, microbial priming, or directly inhibiting microbial functioning (H€attenschwiler & Vitousek 2000; Kraus, Dahlg”
Plant secondary metabolites: a key driver of litter decomposition and soil nutrient cycling (2016, background): “…play in the functioning of an ecosystem is the ‘gene-toecosystems’ approach used in a well-studied riparian forest system of Populus angustifolia 9 P. fremontii throughout the western USA (Schweitzer et al. 2004, 2007, 2008, 2012; Bailey et al. 2005, 2009; LeRoy et al. 2006; Whitham et al. 2006).”
Endophytic fungi in European aspen (Populus tremula) leaves—diversity, detection, and a suggested correlation with herbivory resistance (2010, background): “Further, clone-specific herbivory and insect resistance properties have often been found in phenolic profiling of the species (Osier and Lindroth 2001; Skrzynska 2004 ;B ailey et al.2005 ;T sai et al.2006; Schweitzer et al. 2008 ).”
Adaptations of quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) for defense against herbivores (2013, background): “In Populus, condensed tannins are polymers of flavan-3-ol subunits with chain lengths that vary among species (Schweitzer et al., 2008).”
