Abstract: 1 fig. [Includes sections on recognition between bionts, biont interactions and early thallus development, algal influence on thallus development, candidates for the photobiont signal that causes fungal transformation, synthesis of secondary compounds, nutrient transport from photobiont to mycobiont, fruiting of the mycobiont, regulation of the algal population by mycobiont, algal control of haustorial growth, and xenobionts in the lichen thallus.]
