Influence of herbicide on rhizospheric microbial communities and soil properties in irrigated tropical rice field

Ecological Indicators
Microbial diversity is an essential biological indicator of soil health as well as crop productivity and helps in maintaining the ecosystem dynamics. In land management, Nature based Solutions (NbS) are not mainstream management, however, for sustaining ...

A fast ethanol assay to detect seed deterioration [PDF]

, 2012
The most common way to test seed quality is to use a simple and reliable but time- and space-consuming germination test. In this paper we present a fast and simple method to analyse cabbage seed deterioration by measuring ethanol production from ...

Hijacking the Host Clock: A Nematode Effector Antagonizes Soybean Circadian Defense and Translation Control

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Soybean employs its circadian clock, governed by GmCCA1, to rhythmically defend against soybean cyst nematodes. The pathogen retaliates by secreting the effector Hg4E02, which hijacks the clock to suppress defense and co‐opt the host's translation machinery for nutrient acquisition.

Diversity of Pharmaceuticals Enhances Antibiotic Resistance in the Invertebrate Gut via Biofilm‐Mediated Mechanisms

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Pharmaceutical diversity acts as an independent driver of antibiotic resistance in soil invertebrates. While bulk soil remains unaffected, the collembolan gut microbiome exhibits significant resistance gene enrichment under complex chemical exposure and diurnal warming.

Development process, principles and adaptive technologies for rock and soil layer reconstruction in open-pit coal mines

Meitan xuebao
The rock and soil layer serves as the fundamental basis of ecosystems. Open-pit coal mining causes the complete destruction of the original overlying geotechnical system, leading to severe environmental consequences.

Transcription Factor Promiscuity Drives Regulatory Rewiring and Evolvability in Gene Networks in Bacteria

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
When a master transcription factor (TF) is lost, bacteria can rapidly rewire gene regulatory networks by co‐opting related regulators. Using experimental evolution in Pseudomonas fluorescens, we show that TF promiscuity (low‐level, non‐cognate binding) provides the raw material for rewiring. Successful co‐option follows a predictable hierarchy governed
