Floral traits affecting the transmission of beneficial and pathogenic pollinator-associated microbes
Flowers provide resources for pollinators, and can also be transmission venues for beneficial or pathogenic pollinator-associated microbes. Floral traits could mediate transmission similarly for beneficial and pathogenic microbes, although some ...

The Hologenome Concept of Evolution: Medical Implications
All natural animals and plants are holobionts, consisting of the host and microbiome, which is composed of abundant and diverse microorganisms. Health and disease of holobionts depend as much on interactions between host and microbiome and within the ...

Evidence for the plant recruitment of beneficial microbes to suppress soil‐borne pathogens
An emerging experimental framework suggests that plants under biotic stress may actively seek help from soil microbes, but empirical evidence underlying such a ‘cry for help’ strategy is limited. We used integrated microbial community profiling, pathogen

Conservation of beneficial microbes between the rhizosphere and the cyanosphere
SummaryBiocrusts are phototroph‐driven communities inhabiting arid soil surfaces. Like plants, most photoautotrophs (largely cyanobacteria) in biocrusts are thought to exchange fixed carbon for essential nutrients like nitrogen with cyanosphere bacteria.

Evaluation of plant beneficial microbes for bio-hardening of in-vitro raised pomegranate saplings
Five beneficial microbial agents either alone or in combinations were used to inoculate one year old in-vitro raised pomegranate plants of cv. Bhagawa for further utilization of these microbes as bio-hardening agents.

Metabolic interactions in beneficial microbe recruitment by plants
During millions of years of evolution, land plants and microorganisms have established elaborate partnerships. Microbes play essential roles in plant fitness and help plants cope with environmental challenges. Vice versa, plants provide the microbes with a niche and food.

Effects of a high-fat-diet supplemented with probiotics and ω3-fatty acids on appetite regulatory neuropeptides and neurotransmitters in a pig model [PDF]
The pig is a valuable animal model to study obesity in humans due to the physiological similarity between humans and pigs in terms of digestive and associated metabolic processes.
