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.

Litter accumulation suppresses grass production but facilitates shrub expansion in a long‐term fenced grassland

Ecosphere
Shrub expansion is increasing in grasslands worldwide and has profound effects on biodiversity and ecosystem functions. Shrub expansion has primarily been explained by extrinsic factors such as climate change and human activities, yet the roles of ...

Intestinal microbiome alterations in pediatric epilepsy: Implications for seizures and therapeutic approaches

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract The intestinal microbiome plays a pivotal role in maintaining host health through its involvement in gastrointestinal, immune, and central nervous system (CNS) functions. Recent evidence underscores the bidirectional communication between the microbiota, the gut, and the brain and the impact of this axis on neurological diseases, including ...

Transcriptomic signatures reveal systemic adaptations and immune modulation in response to training and competitive racing in horses

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The molecular mechanisms underlying adaptation to physical exertion and racing stress in horses remain incompletely understood. Peripheral blood transcriptomics offers a minimally invasive method to monitor systemic responses to exercise and identify biomarkers of adaptation or overload. Objectives To evaluate transcriptomic changes

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.

Integrated high‐throughput phenomics and transcriptomics uncover the transcriptional mechanisms underlying rice responses to elevated CO2 concentration and cadmium stress

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Developing crop varieties with reduced cadmium (Cd) accumulation under elevated carbon dioxide (eCO2) requires hub gene identification and elucidation of its transcriptional mechanisms. Here, we acquired high‐throughput phenotyping of the rice cultivar Nipponbare across six key developmental stages under Cd stress and three eCO2 concentrations.

Synthetic microbial communities for engineering climate‐smart biofertilizers

iMeta, EarlyView.
Global agricultural productivity is increasingly destabilized by climate change—driven droughts, floods, extreme heat, and severe storms. Although the climate‐smart agriculture (CSA) framework addresses these challenges, implementation has focused mainly on plant genetics and agronomic inputs, leaving the adaptive potential of the crop microbiome ...

Analysis of gene expression changes in canola in response to inoculation with biotic and abiotic elicitors to Alternaria brassicae

Siberian Journal of Life Sciences and Agriculture
Background. Alternaria brassicae is one of the most destructive pathogens of oilseed rape growth and production. Oilseed rape roots treated with biotic and abiotic elicitors have shown resistance to A. brassicae as a result of induced systemic resistance
