PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 530-555, March 2026.Plants, like humans, have a microbiome that helps them grow, defend themselves against pathogens, acquire nutrients, and protect themselves against environmental stresses. The microbiome of tomatoes, a staple crop grown worldwide, could be utilized not only to reduce fertilizer and pesticide applications, but also to clean up harmful pollutants ...

Responses of Root Microbiome and Metabolome Are Linked to Crop Disease Severity
Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.ABSTRACT Plant microorganisms are an essential component of the host and perform critical functions in plant development and health. Emerging evidence shows that plants use their root exudates to recruit beneficial microbes that protect them against abiotic and biotic stresses, including diseases.

Epigenetic regulation of Epichloë festucae secondary metabolite biosynthesis and symbiotic interaction with Lolium perenne : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Genetics at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
, 2017 Histone methylation is one of several epigenetic layers for transcriptional regulation. Most studies on the importance of this histone modification in regulating fungal secondary metabolite gene expression and pathogenicity have focussed on the role of

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.ABSTRACT Food security challenges require immediate action to increase food production. Many biological products derived from plant, animal or microbial sources claim they sustainably increase yield, but there are concerns about biosecurity to be investigated before their introduction to the field.

The ecology of attraction: Fruit traits and frugivore diversity in neotropical Piper
Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 611-623, March 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Fruit traits can benefit plant reproduction by enhancing seed dispersal by mutualistic frugivores (e.g. seed dispersal syndromes), but identifying the role of specific fruit traits in mediating frugivory is challenging because these traits can serve multiple functions ...

Long‐read sequencing for biodiversity analyses—A comprehensive guide
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 3, Page 650-667, March 2026.Abstract DNA‐based monitoring of biodiversity has revolutionised our ability to describe communities and rapidly assess anthropogenic impacts on biodiversity. Currently established molecular methods for biomonitoring rely heavily on classic metabarcoding utilising short reads, mostly through Illumina data.
