Mutualistic mycorrhiza-like symbiosis in the most ancient group of land plants.
, Nature Communications, Vol: 1, ISSN: 2041-1723Over 35 years ago, it was hypothesized that mutualistic symbiotic soil fungi assisted land plants in their initial colonization of terrestrial environments. This important idea has become increasingly established with palaeobotanical and molecular investigations dating the interactions between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and land plants to at least 400 Ma, but the functioning of analogous partnerships in 'lower' land plants remains unknown. In this study, we show with multifactorial experiments that colonization of a complex thalloid liverwort, a member of the most ancient extant clade of land plants, with AMF significantly promotes photosynthetic carbon uptake, growth and asexual reproduction. Plant fitness increased through fungal-enhanced acquisition of phosphorus and nitrogen from soil, with each plant supporting 100-400 m of AMF mycelia. A simulated CO(2)-rich atmosphere, similar to that of the Palaeozoic when land plants originated, significantly amplified the net benefits of AMF and likely selection pressures for establishment of the symbiosis. Our analyses provide essential missing functional evidence supporting AMF symbionts as drivers of plant terrestrialization in early Palaeozoic land ecosystems.

Gene therapy for cystic fibrosis.
, Proc Am Thorac Soc, Vol: 7, Pages: 408-414The report of the first patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) to receive cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene (CFTR) therapy appeared in 1993, and since then there have been more than 20 clinical trials of both viral and nonviral gene transfer agents. These have largely been single dose to either nose or lower airway and have been designed around molecular or bioelectrical outcome measures. Both transgene mRNA and partial correction of chloride secretion have been reported, although sodium hyperabsorption has not been improved. The U.K. Cystic Fibrosis Gene Therapy Consortium is focused on a clinical program to establish whether these proof-of-principle measures translate into clinical benefit. Here, we review the published literature, discuss the limitations to gene therapy in the CF airway, and consider issues influencing the design of clinical trial programs.
