New Phytologist, EarlyView.Experimental co‐introduction of duckweeds (Lemna japonica) and their microbiome in a common pond. Summary Microbiomes that enhance the performance of host plants are likely to be co‐introduced with their host during colonization because of their intimate association.

New Phytologist, EarlyView.Hypothetical model of Paraburkholderia–EcMF–Bishop pine interactions. Summary Whether a widespread bacterial strain of Paraburkholderia can enhance the physiological responses of ectomycorrhizal fungi (EcMF) and host Bishop pine seedling growth remains unclear. We developed a ‘top‐down meets bottom‐up’ approach that harmonized data from molecular field

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM), a symbiosis between land plants and fungi that enhances plant mineral nutrition, has potential for application in sustainable agriculture. The extent to which plants benefit from the symbiosis depends on the plant‐fungal genotype combination, providing opportunities for breeding symbiosis‐optimized crops.

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.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 ...

Disruption of Fatty Acid Desaturase Gene Alters Aphid Resistance and Volatile Emissions in Sorghum
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Jasmonic acid (JA)‐deficient msd3 sorghum mutants exhibit contrasting resistance phenotypes against sugarcane aphids (SCA; Melanaphis sacchari), which promotes aphid settling at early time points while providing antibiosis‐mediated resistance at later stages. Here we investigated the physiological, hormonal, and metabolic mechanisms underlying

Reproducible hairy root transformation and spot-inoculation methods to study root symbioses of pea
Plant Methods, 2011 Pea has lagged behind other model legumes in the molecular study of nodulation and mycorrhizae-formation because of the difficulty to transform its roots and its poor growth on agar plates.

FRIEND OR FOE? THE CONDITIONALITY OF MYCORRHIZAE-CONFERRED RESISTANCE TO INSECT HERBIVORES
, 2020 136 pagesPlants face a constant struggle to acquire nutrients and defend themselves against herbivores. Association with soil microbes like mycorrhizal fungi can increase plant growth, and alter resistance to herbivores.

Lipidomics of orchid seeds: from development to storage
Plant Biology, EarlyView.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.
