The thallus exudes copious mucilage, a feature shared elsewhere in liverworts only with the mycotrophic subterranean axes of the allied genus Haplomitrium. The central strand in the thallus midrib has a unique histological organization and harbors an intra- and intercellular infection by a glomeromycotean fungus that is far more highly differentiated than most of the glomeromycotean associations described to date. The fungus enters the thallus via clefts in the ventral epidermis along the midrib and colonizes the parenchyma above, forming intracellular coils and prominent, relatively short-lived, hyphal swellings. Above the zone with intracellular colonization is a tissue area containing mucilage-filled intercellular spaces; here the fungus is entirely intercellular and forms abundant pseudoparenchymatous structures and, in more mature parts of the thalli, large hyphae with thick multistratose walls. Mucilage in Treubia differs in histochemistry and origin from that produced by apical papillae, via hypertrophied Golgi, in all other bryophytes. Remarkable parallels between fungal associations in Treubia, Haplomitrium, and Lycopodium, all members of very ancient lineages, suggest that these associations epitomize very early stages in the evolution of glomeromycotean symbioses. 4aMusgos 4aMicorrizas 4aAnatomia de la Planta0 tAmerican Journal of Botanyx0002-9122gv. 93 n. 6 (2006)w238848 a(IBONE)32875238849 aAR-ReUNNbspacAR-ReUNNeaacr2
