[EN] Lichen thalli represent the most conspicuous examples of fungal-algal interactions. Studies that describe phycobiont diversity within entire thalli are based mainly on Sanger sequencing. In some lichen species, this ...
[EN] The precise boundary delineations between taxa in symbiotic associations are very important for evolutionary and ecophysiological studies. Growing evidence indicates that in many cases, the use of either morphological ...

[EN] Lichens are poikilohydrous symbiotic associations between a fungus, photosynthetic partners, and bacteria. They are tolerant to repeated desiccation/rehydration cycles and adapted to anhydrobiosis. Nitric oxide (NO) ...
[EN] Three vagrant (Circinaria hispida, Circinaria gyrosa, Circinaria sp. `paramerae¿) and one crustose (semi-vagrant, Circinaria sp.`oromediterranea¿) growing in very continental areas in the Iberian Peninsula were selected ...

[EN] Little is currently known about the population structure of lichen photobionts. Accordingly, in this study we analyzed the nature and distribution of phycobionts in different Spanish populations of Ramalina farinacea. ...

Organic pollutants effects on lichens have not been addressed. Rehydration is critical for lichens, a burst of free radicals involving NO occurs. Repeated dehydrations with organic pollutants could increase oxidative damage. ...

Ramalina farinacea is an epiphytic fruticose lichen that is relatively abundant in areas with Mediterranean, subtropical or temperate climates. Little is known about photobiont diversity in different lichen populations. ...
