ABSTRACT Droughts increasingly threaten crop productivity in nutrient‐depleted tropical soils. We investigated how water limitation influences rhizomicrobial traits (microbial biomass and functional community composition, enzyme activities) and nitrogen (N) uptake in three sorghum genotypes Makueni local (Mkl), Gadam (Gd), and IESH 22012 (IESH) under ...

Hidden Strategies Beneath a Single Nucleotide: Contrasting Physiology in Lichen Photobiont Strains
ABSTRACT Lichen photobionts exhibit significant physiological variability with important ecological implications. While this variability is relatively well studied at the interspecific level, it has rarely been examined at the intraspecific level. Here, we investigated the physiological responses to temperature and irradiance of two Trebouxia lynniae ...

ABSTRACT Late leaf spot (LLS) is the most widespread and destructive fungal disease affecting peanut worldwide, yet relatively little is known about its genetic basis. In this study, QTL mapping using a 1327‐bin map (derived from 9533 SNP/InDel markers) and multi‐environment phenotypic data repeatedly detected two major LLS‐resistance QTLs on ...

Microbial Partnerships for Sustainable Soybean Cultivation: Mechanisms, Applications and Prospects
ABSTRACT Soybean production is increasingly threatened by fluctuating environmental conditions and nutrient limitations. While synthetic fertilisers can alleviate these constraints, their excessive use has raised concerns regarding long‐term soil health. Consequently, leveraging beneficial soil microbes, a diverse group of microorganisms that reside in

Lipidomics of orchid seeds: from development to storage
The study tracked lipid changes from pollination to storage in two orchid species. Although both were desiccation‐tolerant and storable, differences in saturated and unsaturated fatty acid proportions during development led to different moisture contents and germination capacities.
