  • Deinococcus Ficus sp. nov., isolated from the rhizosphere of Ficus religiosa L
    International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2006
    Co-Authors: Wei-an Lai, Birgit Huber, A B Arun, Punchapady Devasya Rekha, Fo-ting Shen, Peter Kämpfer, Chiu-chung Young
    Abstract:

    A pale-pink strain (CC-FR2-10 T ) from the rhizosphere of the sacred tree Ficus religiosa L. in Taiwan was investigated by using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. The cells were Gram-positive, rod-shaped and non-spore-forming. Phylogenetic analyses using the 16S rRNA gene sequence of the isolate indicated that the organism belongs to the genus Deinococcus, the highest sequence similarities being found with Deinococcus grandis (96?1 %), Deinococcus radiodurans (94?3 %), Deinococcus radiopugnans (93?2 %), Deinococcus indicus (93?0 %), Deinococcus proteolyticus (92?5 %), Deinococcus murrayi (92?4 %) and Deinococcus geothermalis (90?7 %). The DNA–DNA relatedness with respect to D. grandis DSM 3963 T was 17?9 %. Chemotaxonomic data revealed that strain CC-FR2-10 T contains only menaquinone MK-8 as the respiratory quinone, unknown phosphoglycolipids as the predominant polar lipids and 16 : 1v7c ,1 7 : 1v8c and 17 : 1v9c iso as the predominant fatty acids. The biochemical and chemotaxonomic properties demonstrate that strain CC-FR2-10 T represents a novel species, for which the name Deinococcus Ficus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CC-FR2-10 T (=CCUG 53391 T =CIP 108832 T ).

  • a role for parasites in stabilising the fig pollinator mutualism
    PLOS Biology, 2008
    Co-Authors: Derek W Dunn, James M. Cook, Ross H. Crozier, Simon T Segar, Jo Ridley, Ruth Chan
    Abstract:

    Mutualisms are interspecific interactions in which both players benefit. Explaining their maintenance is problematic, because cheaters should outcompete cooperative conspecifics, leading to mutualism instability. Monoecious figs (Ficus) are pollinated by host-specific wasps (Agaonidae), whose larvae gall ovules in their "fruits" (syconia). Female pollinating wasps oviposit directly into Ficus ovules from inside the receptive syconium. Across Ficus species, there is a widely documented segregation of pollinator galls in inner ovules and seeds in outer ovules. This pattern suggests that wasps avoid, or are prevented from ovipositing into, outer ovules, and this results in mutualism stability. However, the mechanisms preventing wasps from exploiting outer ovules remain unknown. We report that in Ficus rubiginosa, offspring in outer ovules are vulnerable to attack by parasitic wasps that oviposit from outside the syconium. Parasitism risk decreases towards the centre of the syconium, where inner ovules provide enemy-free space for pollinator offspring. We suggest that the resulting gradient in offspring viability is likely to contribute to selection on pollinators to avoid outer ovules, and by forcing wasps to focus on a subset of ovules, reduces their galling rates. This previously unidentified mechanism may therefore contribute to mutualism persistence independent of additional factors that invoke plant defences against pollinator oviposition, or physiological constraints on pollinators that prevent oviposition in all available ovules.

  • Microsatellite primers for Ficus racemosa and Ficus rubiginosa
    Molecular Ecology Notes, 2006
    Co-Authors: Y. Ching Crozier, Xiao Cheng Jia, Jin Yan Yao, Ashley R. Field, James M. Cook, Ross H. Crozier
    Abstract:

    We developed 11 polymorphic microsatellite loci each for the figs Ficus (Sycomorus) racemosa and Ficus (Urostigma) rubiginosa from AG- and TG-enriched genomic libraries. These 22 loci were investigated for cross-species amplification and polymorphism in 17–21 F. racemosa and 16–24 F. rubiginosa individuals from Townsville, Australia. Observed heterozygosities range from 0.12 to 0.90 in F. racemosa and from 0.25 to 1.0 in F. rubiginosa.
