Landscape genomics and demography of California Azolla Azolla was collected and sequenced across California as a part of the California Conservation Genomics Project. We identify three major populations of Azolla in the state. Out of these groups, we are ...

Have you ever wondered what "species" of #Azolla there are in California given the fact that they all look the same? Well look no further! New preprint with @tribblelab.bsky.social @ixchelgr.bsky.social @crothfels.bsky.social and @fernway.bsky.social #CCGP www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

“The genome assembly of the duckweed fern, Azolla caroliniana” Abstract. Azolla is a genus of freshwater ferns that is economically important as a nitrogen-fixing biofertilizer, biofuel, bioremediator, and for potentia

The nitrogen‐fixing fern Azolla has a complex microbiome characterized by varying degrees of cophylogenetic signal Premise Azolla is a genus of floating ferns that has closely evolved with a vertically transmitted obligate cyanobacterium endosymbiont—Anabaena azollae—that fixes nitrogen. There are also other les...
