Causes and consequences of bacterial local adaptation via MGEs in the plant microbiome

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 2215-2223, March 2026.
Summary Adaptations that enable plant‐associated bacteria to fill disparate niches comprise a critical component of microbial diversity. Genes that confer locally adaptive bacterial traits, ranging from heavy metal resistance to pathogen or symbiont infectivity, often reside within mobile genetic elements (MGEs) that can move between genomes.

Habituation to thaxtomin A increases resistance to common scab in 'Russet Burbank' potato.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Common scab is a potato disease characterized by the formation of scab-like lesions on the surface of potato tubers. The actinobacterium Streptomyces scabiei is the main causal agent of common scab.

Advancing Plant Microbiome Research Through Host DNA Depletion Techniques

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1189-1203, March 2026.
The plant microbiome plays an essential role in promoting plant growth, enhancing stress tolerance and maintaining overall plant health. Metagenomic technologies have significantly expanded our ability to investigate plant–microbe interactions at high taxonomic and functional resolutions.

Microbial Bioherbicides Based on Cell-Free Phytotoxic Metabolites: Analysis and Perspectives on Their Application in Weed Control as an Innovative Sustainable Solution

Plants
Weeds cause significant agricultural losses worldwide, and herbicides have traditionally been the main solution to this problem. However, the extensive use of herbicides has led to multiple cases of weed resistance, which could generate an increase in ...

How Microbes Twist Jasmonate Signaling around Their Little Fingers

Plants, 2016
Plant immunity relies on a complex network of hormone signaling pathways in which jasmonic acid (JA) plays a central role. Successful microbial pathogens or symbionts have developed strategies to manipulate plant hormone signaling pathways to cause ...

Undervalued Ecosystems: Ponds Boost Regional Macrophyte Diversity

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Ponds—depressional wetlands with ≤ 2 ha—are largely undervalued worldwide, despite serving as crucial diversity reservoirs. However, the extent to which ponds support diversity at the landscape scale is still underappreciated. Here, we investigate the contributions of ponds to macrophyte beta and gamma diversity in a subtropical wetland ...

Benefits and costs of mycorrhizal associations vary along the acquisitive–conservative plant strategy spectrum

Ecological Monographs, Volume 96, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract The acquisitive–conservative spectrum of plant strategies is a well‐supported interspecific trade‐off axis: Compared to acquisitive species that prioritize resource allocation to functions promoting carbon fixation, conservative species tend to grow slower because a larger amount of resources is allocated to functions promoting survival ...

Systemic Toxicity of L‐Mimosine in Rabbits: A Non‐Rodent Model for Safety Assessment

Journal of Applied Toxicology, Volume 46, Issue 2, Page 639-651, February 2026.
ABSTRACT L‐mimosine is a non‐protein amino acid primarily found in the Mimosoideae subfamily, with high concentrations in Leucaena leucocephala and Mimosa pudica. These plants are widely used in both human and animal nutrition, as well as in phytotherapeutic applications. While the toxic effects of L‐mimosine have been extensively studied in ruminants,

Acute Toxicity and Genotoxicity of cMoL, a Lectin From Moringa oleifera Seeds With Antifungal Activity Against Cryptococcus Strains

Journal of Applied Toxicology, Volume 46, Issue 2, Page 682-696, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Coagulant Moringa oleifera lectin (cMoL) is one of the compounds involved in the application of M. oleifera seeds for traditional water treatment methods. The present study highlights the new biotechnological potential of cMoL lectin as an antifungal agent against Cryptococcus neoformans B3501 and H99 and Cryptococcus gattii R265 strains ...
