Non‐Additive Interactions Between Multiple Mutualists and Host Plant Genotype Simultaneously Promote Increased Plant Growth and Pathogen Defence

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding the impact of microbial interactions on plants is critical for maintaining healthy native ecosystems and sustainable agricultural practices. Despite the reality that genetically distinct plants host multiple microbes of large effect in the field, it remains unclear the extent to which host genotypes modulate non‐additive ...

Protoplast‐Based Functional Genomics and Genome Editing: Progress, Challenges and Applications

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Protoplast‐based systems provide a powerful and versatile platform for exploring how plants sense and respond to their environment. By enabling the direct delivery of proteins, DNA, and RNA into plant cells after cell wall removal, this approach facilitates precise molecular dissection of signaling, stress adaptation, and gene regulation ...

The enemy of my enemy: concomitant impacts of goat browsing on native vegetation during invasive plant control

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
The goal of invasive plant management is often to benefit native plants; however, the consequences of invasive plant management on native plants are not often assessed. While this is true generally for invasive plant management, it is particularly true for targeted grazing using livestock, such as goats, which is a rapidly expanding but little‐studied ...
