PF 2026 & literatura za rok uplynulý

Vážení přátelé, členové i příznivci Darwiniany, jakož i kolegyně a kolegové z pěstitelského světa, dovolte prosím, abychom vám za Darwinianu popřáli do nového roku jenom to dobré. Věrni našemu zaměření přejeme zde zejména a především úspěchy pěstitelské!

S přáním do nového roku uzavíráme i rok starý a připojujeme zde seznam odborné literatury za rok 2025.

---

Seznam odborné literatury sestavil jako každý rok RNDr. Lubomír Adamec, kterému za tento počin děkuji. A čeho jsme se od uzavření seznamu na konci roku 2024 dočkali? Jako obvykle, studie jsou zaměřené mnoha různými směry. Ekologické, fyziologické, taxonomické, farmakologické i genetické… dočkali jsme se nových druhů masožravek, dočkali jsme se nových způsobů jejich využití a nově objevených obsahových látek nebo jejich účinků.

Mně osobně nejvíc letos zaujaly studie vztahu masožravek k houbám. V jedné studii autoři použili extrakt z rosnatky Drosera intermedia jako nový typ biologického fungicidu aplikovatelného na jiné rostliny. K použitelnosti této studie v praxi jsem stále skeptický, když si vzpomenu, kolik masožravek už jsem během své pěstitelské historie ztratil právě kvůli různým houbovým chorobám. Přesto, očividně je otázkou koncentrace tohoto „fungicidu“, jeho použití i cílový patogen. Kdoví, třeba si budeme v budoucnu rosolkou léčit napadené masožravky?

Druhá studie, kterou bych chtěl vyzdvihnout, se věnuje úplně opačnému vztahu mezi rostlinami a houbami - mykorhize. Autoři (Montero, Freund, Fukushima) studie „Convergent losses of arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis in carnivorous plants“ z poměrně prestižního odborného časopisu New Phytologist srovnali výskyt arbuskulární mykorhizy a masožravosti napříč fylogenezí rostlin. Arbuskulární mykorhiza je nejrozšířenějším typem mykorhizy. Jedná se o tzv. endomykorhizu, při které hyfy hub pronikají do kořenových buněk hostitele, výměnou za anorganické živiny z půdy houba dostává část složitějších organických molekul od rostliny. Tento vztah je natolik těsný a komplikovaný, že v rostlinách najdeme celou řadu genů, které ho umožňují a regulují. Ve zmíněné studii se autoři zaměřili právě na tyto geny a vyšel jim velmi zřetelný vzorec: ve chvíli, kdy se rostlina stává masožravou, ztrácí arbuskulární mykorhizu a postupně přichází i o příslušnou genetickou výbavu. Navíc se nejedná o pozorování na jediném rodu či vývojové větvi masožravek, tento trend je patrný napříč zcela nepříbuznými skupinami masožravek (rosnatky, láčkovky, špirlice, bublinatky…). Pouze u masožravých bromelií, jejichž masožravost, pokud ji za takovou vůbec povazujeme, je evolučně nejmladší, jsou detekovány geny související s arbuskulární mykorhizou.

Co z toho? Těžko říct. Každopádně je to fascinující objev. Otázkou zůstává, jestli masožravé rostliny nemají vůbec žádnou mykorhizu nebo fungují pomocí méně rozšířené ektomykorhizy, kdy houbová vlákna oplétají kořeny, ale nepronikají dovnitř. Uvidíme zřejmě časem.

A teď už jen zmíněný seznam. Všechny články jsou samozřejmě k dispozici pro zájemce v knihovně Darwiniany.
