Inverse sky islands: lowland river valleys drive microbial divergence while high elevations select for convergence in massive mountain ecosystems

Ecography, EarlyView.
Mountain ecosystems are often interpreted through the lens of the ‘sky island' model, where high‐elevation habitats function as isolated archipelagos. However, this model's applicability to massive, topographically complex mountain ranges where highlands are continuous and lowlands are fragmented remains untested.

The Crossregulation Triggered by Bacillus Strains Is Strain-Specific and Improves Adaptation to Biotic and Abiotic Stress in Arabidopsis

Plants
Plants are sessile organisms that overcome environmental stress by activating specific metabolic pathways, leading to adaptation and survival. In addition, they recruit beneficial bacterial strains to further improve their performance.

Seed lipid profiles of perennial ryegrass: Global patterns and differentiation of ryegrass cultivars and Epichloë endophytes

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Seed lipid profiles from three ryegrass cultivars infected with AR501 show distinct changes in the medium‐chain diacylglycerols, triacylglycerols and sphingolipids. The differential peal LN745.5052_5.78 can be identified as PG 16:0_18:2 with the supporting ms2 fragmentation spectrum. Abstract Background Forage perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) has

Microbial ecological memory of recurrent drought enhances host stress tolerance through enrichment of plant‐beneficial bacteria

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Recurrent desiccation induced niche‐specific microbial ecological memory in the green part of Calohypnum plumiforme, marked by enrichment of plant‐beneficial bacteria, especially Methylobacterium and Sphingomonas, and functional shifts toward symbiosis and stress protection, potentially enhancing host tolerance within a “holobiont ecology memory ...
