A large part of this carbon is released via thermokarst ponds, and fungi could be an important organismal group enabling its recycling. However, our knowledge about aquatic fungi in thermokarstic systems is extremely limited. In this study, we collected samples from five permafrost sites distributed across circumpolar Arctic and representing different stages of permafrost integrity. Surface water samples were taken from the ponds and, additionally, for most of the ponds also the detritus and sediment samples were taken. All the samples were extracted for total DNA, which was then amplified for the fungal ITS2 region of the ribosomal genes. These amplicons were sequenced using PacBio technology. Water samples were also collected to analyze the chemical conditions in the ponds, including nutrient status and the quality and quantity of dissolved organic carbon. This dataset gives a unique overview of the impact of the thawing permafrost on fungal communities and their potential role on carbon recycling.", "doi": "10.1038/s41597-021-01005-7", "pmid": "34413318", "labels": {"Sari Peura": "", "SciLifeLab Fellow": ""}, "xrefs": [{"db": "pmc", "key": "PMC8377128"}, {"db": "pii", "key": "10.1038/s41597-021-01005-7"}], "notes": [], "created": "2026-10-01T08:31:26.216Z", "modified": "2026-10-01T08:31:26.327Z"}, {"entity": "publication", "iuid": "f96e4c0629064716b3e81a9c0a6b82b7", "links": {"self": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/publication/f96e4c0629064716b3e81a9c0a6b82b7.json"}, "display": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/publication/f96e4c0629064716b3e81a9c0a6b82b7"}}, "title": "Different Alleles of a Gene Encoding Leucoanthocyanidin Reductase (PaLAR3) Influence Resistance against the Fungus Heterobasidion parviporum in Picea abies.", "authors": [{"family": "Nemesio-Gorriz", "given": "Miguel", "initials": "M", "orcid": "0000-0001-8052-8101", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/05ccdc970c6840fe8eebf711025f4d70.json"}}, {"family": "Hammerbacher", "given": "Almuth", "initials": "A", "orcid": "0000-0002-0262-2634", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/bc6d772d30c84b87b825b8d33fafecc2.json"}}, {"family": "Ihrmark", "given": "Katarina", "initials": "K"}, {"family": "K\u00e4llman", "given": "Thomas", "initials": "T", "orcid": "0000-0003-0498-2665", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/5232bc7ae58e45f787598ccb32bb8eb2.json"}}, {"family": "Olson", "given": "\u00c5ke", "initials": "\u00c5", "orcid": "0000-0002-8998-6096", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/f2a6d4b1b3594bf599dbd653ba710f33.json"}}, {"family": "Lascoux", "given": "Martin", "initials": "M", "orcid": "0000-0003-1699-9042", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/0730d0f9c2524eb19383640612924701.json"}}, {"family": "Stenlid", "given": "Jan", "initials": "J", "orcid": "0000-0002-5344-2094", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/31050a3371d24baba9b4173b3f218966.json"}}, {"family": "Gershenzon", "given": "Jonathan", "initials": "J", "orcid": "0000-0002-1812-1551", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/cee1248887bf497a9d61b858b09d6e77.json"}}, {"family": "Elfstrand", "given": "Malin", "initials": "M", "orcid": "0000-0002-0214-5284", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/6ea896e8946240f587aecc990b6b8bfd.json"}}], "type": "journal article", "published": "2016-08-00", "journal": {"title": "Plant Physiol.", "issn": "1532-2548", "volume": "171", "issue": "4", "pages": "2671-2681", "issn-l": "0032-0889"}, "abstract": "Despite the fact that fungal diseases are a growing menace for conifers in modern silviculture, only a very limited number of molecular markers for pathogen resistance have been validated in conifer species. A previous genetic study indicated that the resistance of Norway spruce (Picea abies) to Heterobasidion annosum s.l., a pathogenic basidiomycete species complex, is linked to a quantitative trait loci that associates with differences in fungal growth in sapwood (FGS) that includes a gene, PaLAR3, which encodes a leucoanthocyanidin reductase. In this study, gene sequences showed the presence of two PaLAR3 allelic lineages in P. abies. Higher resistance was associated with the novel allele, which was found in low frequency in the four P. abies populations that we studied. Norway spruce plants carrying at least one copy of the novel allele showed a significant reduction in FGS after inoculation with Heterobasidion parviporum compared to their half-siblings carrying no copies, indicating dominance of this allele. The amount of (+) catechin, the enzymatic product of PaLAR3, was significantly higher in bark of trees homozygous for the novel allele. Although we observed that the in vitro activities of the enzymes encoded by the two alleles were similar, we could show that allele-specific transcript levels were significantly higher for the novel allele, indicating that regulation of gene expression is responsible for the observed effects in resistance, possibly caused by differences in cis-acting elements that we observe in the promoter region of the two alleles.", "doi": "10.1104/pp.16.00685", "pmid": "27317690", "labels": [], "xrefs": [{"db": "pmc", "key": "PMC4972290"}, {"db": "pii", "key": "pp.16.00685"}], "notes": [], "created": "2018-12-05T12:01:42.167Z", "modified": "2026-09-23T09:34:35.102Z"}]}
