Rhizosphere Microbiome Transplantation as a Resource‐Efficient Approach to Enhance Growth and Microbial Functional Diversity in Urban Plants

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10405-10416, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Urban soils are increasingly affected by degradation, compaction, pollution, and water limitation, which can constrain plant performance and the functioning of urban green spaces. Rhizosphere microbiome transplantation (RMT), which transfers entire microbial communities from donor plants to target species, has emerged as a potential ...

Artificial light at night decreases phyllosphere microbial diversity and functionality in grassland plants

Global Ecology and Conservation
With the rapid expansion of artificial light in the global nocturnal environment, the ecological impacts of artificial light at night (ALAN) on plant communities have garnered increasing research interest. However, the role of phyllosphere microorganisms

Fungal Community Composition Varies Across Floral and Extrafloral Nectaries

Journal of Basic Microbiology, Volume 66, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Floral (FNs) and extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) are key plant microhabitats that mediate interactions among plants, insects, and microorganisms, yet their associated fungal communities remain poorly characterized, especially in tropical ecosystems.

Leaf penetration by endophytic Metarhizium brunneum enables infection of Phthorimaea absoluta in tomato mines while inducing the crop defense system

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 8, Page 7794-7808, August 2026.
Spraying Metarhizium brunneum on tomato plants controls heterogeneous and upcoming Phthorimaea absoluta populations by infecting larvae within mines and priming plant induced systemic defences. Abstract BACKGROUND The endophytic entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium brunneum Petch EAMa 01/58‐Su shows strong potential for managing Phthorimaea absoluta, a ...

Hidden Microbiota Inhabiting in Pollen Reserves of Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) From Amazonas Region Revealed by DNA Metabarcoding

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 4, August 2026.
DNA metabarcoding of honey bee pollen reserves from Amazonas region reveals that microbial communities are strongly shaped by their ecosystem. Despite high taxonomic turnover across different habitats, these microbiomes maintain stable, essential functions for pollinator health, though they remain highly vulnerable to habitat homogenization.

Cotton Recruits Soil‐Derived Delftia tsuruhatensis to Suppress Aphid Detoxification Via Salicylic Acid‐Mediated Defense

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 38, 9 July 2026.
This study systematically reveals a complex interactive network involving plants, microbes, and insects, elucidating the ecological and molecular mechanisms by which cotton enhances its resistance to aphids through the active recruitment of the beneficial soil bacterium Delftia tsuruhatensis.

Macroecology of Microbial Performance Across Earth's Biomes

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim A central goal of global ecology is to determine whether widespread spatial distribution reflects broad ecological performance. For microorganisms, this remains unresolved because occurrence and performance are rarely evaluated together across biomes.

A Spray Foliar Containing Methylobacterium symbioticum Did Not Increase Nitrogen Concentration in Leaves or Olive Yield Across Three Rainfed Olive Orchards

Horticulturae
Biological nitrogen (N) fixation has been advocated in agricultural fields due to being considered a more sustainable way to introduce N into agrosystems than industrial N fertilizers.

Mycobiome Simplification in Wheat Is Associated With the Pathogen Parastagonospora nodorum

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 14, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Plant mycobiomes are essential to plant health, yet their assembly under biotic stressors such as pathogen infection remains poorly understood. Plant pathogens can influence microbial community composition through direct antagonism and suppression of host immune responses, potentially altering mycobiome composition in ways that could affect ...
