Bt agave: why it is time to explore a new biotechnological frontier

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Drylands cover 41% of Earth, requiring sustainable crops. Agave, drought‐ and heat‐adapted, offers high‐value products with low water needs. Pests limit yield, yet Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) Cry proteins, successful in other plants, remain unexploited in Agave.

Microbial Community Dynamics in Marine Water: Influence of Hydrocarbon Type and Exposure Time

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Marine environments are frequently impacted by petroleum‐derived hydrocarbons, which pose ecological risks because of their toxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic potential. Microorganisms play a crucial role in hydrocarbon degradation, and understanding the influence of time and hydrocarbon type on microbial dynamics helps improve bioremediation ...

Soil legacy effects on a temperate tree species depend on the mycorrhizal types and phylogenetic distance of the conditioning trees

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Associations of trees with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi often shape distinct microbial communities in soils. Whether this distinction can create different soil legacies and to what extent such legacies are correlated to phylogenetic ...

Comparative analysis of chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes of sweet potato provides evidence of gene transfer

Scientific Reports
The increasing number of plant mitochondrial DNA genomes (mtDNA) sequenced reveals the extent of transfer from both chloroplast DNA genomes (cpDNA) and nuclear DNA genomes (nDNA).

Environmental factors associated with nesting habits and age shape the composition and connection between skin and uropygial gland microbiomes of birds

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study provides new insights into how ecological conditions influence the evolution of host‐associated symbiotic communities and their functional roles. The findings suggest that pathogen pressures linked to nesting habits in birds shape bacterial communities of the uropygial gland, and their connection with the skin microbiome, where the ...

Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.
