A CLE11b‐CLE16 Signaling Relay Mediates Root‐Shoot‐Root Crosstalk for Drought Adaptation in Common Bean

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel root‐shoot‐root signaling relay, mediated by CLE peptides, coordinates drought adaptation in common bean. Root‐derived PvCLE11b translocates acropetally to leaves, inducing PvCLE16 expression via PvTCP10. Leaf‐accumulated PvCLE16 triggers stomatal closure and translocates basipetally to modulate root architecture.

Biotic and abiotic factors affecting soil microbial carbon use efficiency

Frontiers in Plant Science
Soil microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) refers to the efficiency of microorganisms in converting absorbed carbon into their own biomass carbon. Soil microbial CUE is a key parameter to understanding the soil carbon cycle.

Linking Plant Metabolomics with Fungal Functional Dynamics Reveals a Noncanonical S‐R‐C Adaptive Trajectory

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Using field‐based holo‐omics, we demonstrate that developmental shifts in sorghum leaf metabolomes drive a noncanonical fungal succession from stress tolerators (S) through ruderals (R) to competitors (C). Antifungal metabolites in young leaves select for S strategists with expanded genomes, transient maltose pulses during flowering favor fast‐growing ...

Understanding Biotic Stress and Hormone Signalling in Cassava (Manihot esculenta): Potential for Using Hyphenated Analytical Techniques

Applied Sciences, 2020
Biotic stresses often constitute major factors limiting global crop yields. A better understanding of plant responses to these stresses will facilitate efforts to improve stress tolerance and yields, especially in a climatically changing world.

Automated Bacterial Identification and Morphological Feature Analysis in Low‐Dose Cryo‐EM Using YOLOv11

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
AI‐based tools enable rapid characterization of bacterial ultrastructure in low‐dose cryogenic transmission electron microscopy. The envelope thickness tool quantifies membrane thickness and anisotropy. The flagella module analyzes filament morphology and detects cell‐flagella contacts.

Seeds of change: The impact of Ethiopia's direct seed marketing approach on smallholders' seed purchases and productivity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract While multiple factors explain low adoption rates of improved varieties by small‐scale farmers in sub‐Saharan Africa, a key supply‐side constraint is the limited availability of seed embodying new traits in the volume, quality, price, and timeliness required by farmers. This constraint is partly attributable to classical failures in the market

Drivers of insect herbivory resistance and tolerance to plant damage in the Brachypodium distachyon species complex

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Insect herbivory is a major biotic factor shaping plant populations and driving the evolution of defensive traits. Polyploidy (whole‐genome duplication) often induces substantial phenotypic and genotypic changes that may affect species interactions, including herbivory.

An artificial neural network–based deep learning model to predict combined stress impact and interaction in plants

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Plants are frequently exposed to combinations of abiotic and biotic stresses that pose a greater threat to yield and productivity than individual stresses. However, knowledge of the impact of many stress combinations in numerous plants is limited due to the lack of experimental data, which could take decades to generate.

An interactive art activity to promote student reflection and learning about host-microbe interactions

Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education
The use of art in science teaching can effectively help students understand complex and abstract concepts, particularly in the fields of Microbiology and Microbial Ecology, where the study objects—the microbes—are invisible to human eyes.
