Breeding switchgrass for reduced nitrogen demand

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Breeding has improved switchgrass biomass yield, but productivity is still heavily dependent on nitrogen fertilizer application. The genetic diversity needed to improve nitrogen use efficiency of switchgrass remains underused, mainly because of the slow and laborious breeding process, thus leaving the crop's high nitrogen demand as a major barrier to ...

The nitrogen dilemma: Toward a novel fertilization management framework for reconciling productivity and diversity in grasslands

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Nitrogen fertilization raises grassland productivity but steadily undermines plant diversity. Instead of applying the same rate everywhere every year, the PRISM framework is designed to rotate high‐ and low‐nitrogen paddocks across the farm over time. This spatiotemporal cycling aims to maintain farm‐scale productivity while creating periodic windows ...

Host‐specific and deterministic microbiome assembly in major coleopteran stored‐grain pests

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Dual DNA‐ and RNA‐based sequencing profiled the microbiomes of five major coleopteran stored‐grain pests and their wheat flour substrate. The microbiomes differed significantly among hosts and from flour, yet 11 core bacterial and 9 core fungal taxa were shared across hosts. RNA data revealed host‐specific active microbiota.

Microbiome‐mediated plant‐soil feedbacks as a tool for resilient agriculture

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Translating plant‐soil feedbacks (PSFs) into reliable agricultural management requires shifting from input‐dependent practices toward endogenous, process‐driven crop resilience. To bridge this gap, we propose a predictive framework centered on three strategic interventions: engineering the crop holobiont, diversifying the soil habitat, and deploying ...

Maternal and infant gut microbiome

iMeta, EarlyView.
The maternal–infant continuum involves critical windows of host–microbiota co‐adaptation. Preconception, maternal and paternal microbiomes modulate immunity and reproduction. During pregnancy, a gut–placenta axis emerges, where microbial metabolites influence fetal growth or contribute to complications like gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM ...
