Plant genetic and root‐associated microbial diversity modulate Lactuca sativa responsiveness to a soil inoculum under phosphate deficiency

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Leaf phosphate and shoot biomass variation in response to the microbial consortium. Summary Microbial‐based approaches offer a promising strategy to decrease the use of chemical fertilizers in agriculture. Among them, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), which extend root surface area and enhance phosphate uptake, and phosphate‐solubilizing bacteria ...

A Repertoire of Major Genes From Crop Wild Relatives for Breeding Disease‐Resistant Wheat, Rice, Maize, Soybean and Cotton Crops

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global food demand is predicted to rise anywhere from 59% to 98% by 2050 because of increasing population. However, the continued depletion of natural resources and increasing biotic and abiotic stresses will continue to pose significant threats to global food security in coming years.

Concurrent Increases in Root Phosphorus Acquisition and Leaf Phosphorus Resorption Underpin Enhanced Phosphorus Economy in Chickpea During Reproductive Development

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Phosphorus (P) acquisition and leaf P‐use strategies are critical for reproductive success and productivity, yet, their developmental association during the reproductive phase remains unclear. Five chickpea accessions contrasting in P‐remobilisation efficiency (PRE) were grown in a temperature‐controlled glasshouse under moderate P deficiency.

Photoprotective potential of gadusol against ultraviolet B radiation in melanocytes

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Gadusol protects melanocytes from ultraviolet B (UVB)‐induced damage without cytotoxicity. Abstract The increasing incidence of skin cancer, including melanoma, combined with the need for ultraviolet (UV) filters that are safe for human health and marine ecosystems, is driving the search for new photoprotective agents.

Pinus‐derived membrane vesicles disrupt pathogenic metabolism in fungi

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Needle‐derived vesicles from pine trees impair fungal metabolism and growth, offering a sustainable strategy to control pine pitch canker disease. Abstract Much of what we know about the biological impacts of vesicles (MVs) is derived from Arabidopsis thaliana.

Chemical agents to control biofilm formation in step 1 of care—Toothpastes and mouthwashes/concepts and challenges

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Maintaining optimal oral hygiene is important for overall oral care, ensuring the well‐being of teeth and their surrounding tissues. In addition, it promotes fresh breath and a pleasing smile. A key element of oral self‐care is the daily use of toothpaste during regular brushing.

Understanding exosomes in diabetic wound healing

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Diabetic wounds signify a major complication of diabetes mellitus, characterized by chronic inflammation, compromised angiogenesis, and high risk of infection, amputation, and mortality. Contemporary therapies remain limited in efficacy and durability.

CrustCheck: a conceptual framework for interpreting biocrust trait–function relationships in drylands

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Biocrusts are increasingly recognized for their contribution to soil stability, hydrology, nutrient cycling, and energy balance in drylands, yet practical field methods for assessing functional roles are limited. Existing approaches typically rely on cover estimates, taxonomic identification, or laboratory analyses, providing ...

Native biocrust microbes modulate salinity‐driven recruitment filters in coastal wetlands

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Mediterranean coastal wetlands are biodiversity hotspots increasingly threatened by climate change, particularly by salinization, which strongly constrains plant recruitment during early life stages. Native soil microbiota may provide nature‐based solutions (NbS) to enhance plant establishment under saline conditions.

Imprinted or innate food preferences in the model mite Archegozetes longisetosus (Actinotrichida, Oribatida, Trhypochthoniidae)

Soil Organisms, 2018
Most oribatid mites are opportunistic feeders with a broad variety of different food sources. However, preferences for certain food such as dark pigmented fungi, led to the ‘choosy generalist’-hypothesis.
