Agricultural management and plant selection interactively affect rhizosphere microbial community structure and nitrogen cycling. [PDF]

, 2019
BACKGROUND:Rhizosphere microbial communities are key regulators of plant performance, yet few studies have assessed the impact of different management approaches on the rhizosphere microbiomes of major crops.

Strong succession in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities. [PDF]

, 2019
The ecology of fungi lags behind that of plants and animals because most fungi are microscopic and hidden in their substrates. Here, we address the basic ecological process of fungal succession in nature using the microscopic, arbuscular mycorrhizal ...

The fungal microbiota modulate neonatal oxygen-induced lung injury

Microbiome
Background The immature lungs of very preterm infants are exposed to supraphysiologic oxygen, contributing to bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a chronic lung disease that is the most common morbidity of prematurity.

Shaping the tripartite symbiosis: are termite microbiome functions directed by the environmentally acquired fungal cultivar?

Animal Microbiome
Microbiome assembly critically impacts the ability of hosts to access beneficial symbiont functions. Fungus-farming termites have co-evolved with a fungal cultivar as a primary food source and complex gut microbiomes, which collectively perform ...

Wheat mycobiome dynamics driven by interseasonal crop-crop transfer and Fusarium head blight

Frontiers in Microbiology
IntroductionFusarium head blight (FHB) is a devastating disease of wheat that causes mycotoxin contamination in grains. Diseases like FHB have traditionally been managed with integrated strategies; but this has led to a proliferation of fungicide ...

The bacterial and fungal strawberry root-associated microbiome in reused peat-based substrate

BMC Plant Biology
Background Reuse of plant growing substrate can contribute to lowering the carbon footprint of horticulture production systems. Here, we assessed the impact of substrate reusing on the root-associated microbiome of strawberries. The cultivars Elsanta and
