Chemical ecology of symbioses in cycads, an ancient plant lineage Open
Summary Cycads are an ancient lineage of gymnosperms that maintain a plethora of symbiotic associations from across the tree of life. They have myriad morphological, structural, physiological, chemical, and behavioral adaptations that posi…
