Functionally complementary bacterial inoculant coordinates arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi to improve Angelica sinensis root yield and quality

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Comprehensive understanding of how diverse PGPR strains enhance the rhizosphere microenvironment remains a considerable challenge. Here, we provide experimental evidence that a functionally synergistic composite microbial formulation can markedly enhance growth performance and improve the quality attributes in Angelica sinensis.

Discovery of two tightly linked soybean genes at the qSCN10 (O) locus conferring broad-spectrum resistance to soybean cyst nematode

Communications Biology
Soybean cyst nematode (SCN, Heterodera glycine Ichinohe) is a major threat to global soybean yield. Resistance genes at the rhg1 locus from PI 88788 are majorly utilized in 95% of the U.S. breeding programs. Continuous use of this resistance source leads

Coordinated physiological and molecular reprogramming by brassinosteroids improves soybean tolerance to combined salt and drought stress

Plant Signaling & Behavior
This study investigates how brassinosteroids (BRs) enhance stress tolerance in soybean under combined salt and drought stress by examining growth, chlorophyll content, photosynthesis, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis. Salt and drought stress
