A first insight into the structure and function of rhizosphere microbiota in antarctic plants using shotgun metagenomic
Molina-Montenegro, Marco A.; Ballesteros, Gabriel I.; Castro-Nallar, Eduardo; Meneses, Claudio; Gallardo-Cerda, Jorge; Torres-Díaz, Cristian (2019)Antarctic vascular plants such as Deschampsia antarctica (Da) could generate more suitable micro-environmental conditions for the establishment of other plants like Colobanthus quitensis (Cq). Although positive plant–plant ...

In silico analysis of metatranscriptomic data from the antarctic vascular plant Colobanthus quitensis: responses to a global warming scenario through changes in fungal gene expression levels
Ballesteros, Gabriel I.; Torres-Díaz, Cristian; Bravo, León A.; Balboa, Karen; Caruso, Carla; Bertini, Laura; Proietti, Silvia; Molina-Montenegro, Marco A. (2020)Maritime Antarctica is one of the most stressful environments for plant life worldwide. However, two vascular plant species (Deschampsia antarctica and Colobanthus quitensis) have been able to colonize this hostile ...

Integration of physiological and molecular traits would help to improve the insights of drought resistance in highbush blueberry cultivars
Balboa, Karen; Ballesteros, Gabriel I.; Molina-Montenegro, Marco A. (2020)Water deficit or drought is one of the most severe factors limiting plant yield or fruit quality. Thus, water availability for irrigation is decisive for crop success, such as the case of highbush blueberry (Vaccinium ...

Symbiotic interaction enhances the recovery of endangered tree species in the fragmented maulino forest
Torres-Díaz, Cristian; Valladares, Moisés A.; Acuña-Rodríguez, Ian S.; Ballesteros, Gabriel I.; Barrera, Andrea; Atala, Cristian; Molina-Montenegro, Marco A. (2021)Beneficial plant-associated microorganisms, such as fungal endophytes, are key partners that normally improve plant survival under different environmental stresses. It has been shown that microorganisms from extreme ...

The "Trojan horse" strategy: seed fungal endophyte symbiosis helps to explain the invasion success of the grass, Poa annua, in maritime Antarctica
Molina-Montenegro, Marco A.; Ballesteros, Gabriel I.; Acuña-Rodríguez, Ian S; Pertierra, Luis R.; Greve, Michelle; Richardson, David M.; Convey, Peter; Biersma, Elisabeth M.; Goodall-Copestake, William P; Newsham, Kevin K. (2023)Aim: Poa annua L. (annual bluegrass) is presently the sole invasive vascular plant spe-cies to have successfully established in Maritime Antarctica, where it poses a sig-nificant conservation threat to native plant species. ...

The role of the soil microbiome in the colonisation of glacier forefields by Antarctic pearlwort (Colobanthus quitensis) under current and future climate change scenarios
Acuña-Rodríguez, Ian S; Newsham, Kevin K.; Convey, Peter; Biersma, Elisabeth M.; Ballesteros, Gabriel I.; Torres-Díaz, Cristian; Goodall-Copestake, William P; Molina-Montenegro, Marco A. (2024)Glacier retreat in cold regions exposes new terrain for plant colonization. However, the roles of soil microbiomes in plant establishment and performance on newly-exposed forefields have rarely been assessed. Here, we ...
