Intraspecific variation in plant–soil feedback depends on plant dominance while interspecific variation is unrelated to plant community structure

Journal of Ecology, EarlyView.
Plant dominance had stronger effects on microbiome assembly and plant–soil feedback (PSF) than plant diversity. Although plant diversity did not reduce negative PSF, independent variation in PSF within and among species suggests additive benefits of genetic and species diversity for dilution of plant responses to pathogens. Understanding this variation,

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Cytisus scoparius*

Journal of Ecology, EarlyView.
Broom is an attractive and common native plant across Britain, Ireland and most of Europe, and yet it is considered a harmful and invasive weed around the rest of the world. This is aided by broom thriving on poor dry soils, helped by using green stems for photosynthesis and having root nodules to fix nitrogen.

Shifting microbial communities in acidified seawaters: insights from polychaetes living in the CO2 vent of Ischia, Italy

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The microbiome of polychaetes Syllis prolifera and Platynereis massiliensis complex changes in naturally acidified CO2 vents. A slight degree of acidification is associated with relevant changes in the microbial community, stressing the importance of investigations about the possible effects of ocean acidification on key biological and ecological ...

Protein import into bacterial endosymbionts and evolving organelles

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The acquisition of bacterial endosymbionts by ancient host cells followed by massive adaptation of the partners gave rise to mitochondria and plastids. Today, various systems with younger and less integrated endosymbionts provide insights into the initial steps in the endosymbiont to organelle transition.

Shifting the substrate scope of dimeric pyranose oxidase from monosaccharide to glycoside preference through oligomeric state modification

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Pyranose oxidase (POx) and C‐glycoside oxidase (CGOx) are FAD‐dependent oxidoreductases that share the same sequence space. POxs with a higher oligomerization state exclusively catalyze the oxidation of monosaccharides, whereas monomeric POxs/CGOxs show preference towards glycosides. We engineered the dimeric POx from Kitasatospora aureofaciens (KaPOx)

Wild Cicer species exhibit superior leaf photosynthetic phosphorus‐ and water‐use efficiencies compared with cultivated chickpea under low‐phosphorus conditions

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Domesticated chickpea cultivars exhibit limited genetic diversity. This study evaluated the effects of chickpea domestication on phosphorus (P)‐use efficiency (PUE) under low‐P conditions, using a diverse Cicer collection, including wild species. Two wild Cicer species – 54 C. reticulatum accessions and 15 C. echinospermum accessions, and seven

Plant genetic transformation: achievements, current status and future prospects

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Regeneration represents a fundamental biological process wherein an organism's tissues or organs repair and replace themselves following damage or environmental stress. In plant systems, injured tree branches can regenerate adventitious buds and develop new crowns through propagation techniques like cuttings and canopy pruning, while transgenic

Influence of Paraquat on Four Rhizobacteria Strains: Pantoea agglomerans, Rhizobium nepotum, Rhizobium radiobacter and Rhizobium tibeticum

Open Environmental Sciences, 2018
Background:Soil microorganisms are exposed to herbicides after treatment, which leads to their interaction. The result of this interaction may be the degradation of the herbicides by the microorganisms and by the way, they use the degradation products as an energy source for their own physiological processes, or herbicides have a toxic effect on these ...

TaFT‐D1 positively regulates grain weight by acting as a coactivator of TaFDL2 in wheat

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT), a multifunctional regulator in crops, modulates multiple key agronomic traits such as flowering time or heading date and plant height; however, its role in grain development regulation is unclear. Herein, through genome‐wide association studies (GWAS), we identified TaFT‐D1, which encodes a phosphatidylethanolamine ...
