This isn’t fungal, but sounds pretty cool – ability to identify plants by echolocation.
Yovel, Y., Franz, M.O., Stilz, P., Schnitzler, H., Bourne, P.E. (2008). Plant Classification from Bat-Like Echolocation Signals. PLoS Computational Biology, 4(3), e1000032. [...] Today, I would like to share the news about the publication of the Laccaria bicolor genome. This is the first mycorrhizal symbiotic genome published in the Nature journal. The title is “The genome of Laccaria bicolor provides insights into mycorrhizal symbiosis”. The team consisteing of more than 60 researchers from 16 institutions have revealed the interaction between plant and fungi. For complete publication and [...] PZ Meyers has a post summarizing of an older paper from Elliot Meyerowitz (2002) that comapares plant and animal development. In particular there is are some major themes summarized about how plants and animals form patterns and cell to cell signaling as part of development. What’s missing is what we’ve learned about within group comparisons where there are multiple lineages of single-celled and [...] I’m including a recapping as many of the talks as I remember. There were 6 concurrent sessions each afternoon so you have to miss a lot of talks.
