Characterizing the microbiome recruited by the endangered plant Firmiana danxiaensis in phosphorus-deficient acidic soil

Frontiers in Microbiology
Phosphorus (P)-deficient soils serve as crucial habitats for endangered plant species. Microbiomes play pivotal roles in soil element cycling and in determining a plant’s adaptability to the environment.

Deciphering Role of Endophytes in Plant Defences and Biotic Stress Resilience Across Families

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant families generate distinct repertoires of specialised metabolites that govern their biotic interactions. Endophytes strengthen host plant defence mechanisms and tolerance to biotic challenges by upregulating metabolite biosynthesis, modifying precursor compounds into more potent forms, or by directly synthesising analogous defence ...

Ecological Filtering by Tuber Compartments Shapes Stable Core Microbiomes That Underpin Potato Plant Growth Across Environments

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Harnessing plant microbiomes for sustainable agriculture requires understanding not only whether they can boost crop performance, but also how ecological processes govern their assembly, stability, and functional contributions across environments.

AI Driven Analysis of Canola Rhizosphere Microbiome: Diversity, Core Microbiome, and Machine Learning Classification

Rhizosphere microbiome is an important factor in maintaining plant health and development of sustainable agriculture. In this study, bacterial community composition in the canola (Brassica napus) rhizosphere microbiome was analyzed by 16S rRNA amplicon ...

Beneath the Drought: Rhizosphere Processes Shape Genotype‐Specific Sorghum Responses to Drought‐Induced N Limitation

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Droughts increasingly threaten crop productivity in nutrient‐depleted tropical soils. We investigated how water limitation influences rhizomicrobial traits (microbial biomass and functional community composition, enzyme activities) and nitrogen (N) uptake in three sorghum genotypes Makueni local (Mkl), Gadam (Gd), and IESH 22012 (IESH) under ...

Microbial Partnerships for Sustainable Soybean Cultivation: Mechanisms, Applications and Prospects

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soybean production is increasingly threatened by fluctuating environmental conditions and nutrient limitations. While synthetic fertilisers can alleviate these constraints, their excessive use has raised concerns regarding long‐term soil health. Consequently, leveraging beneficial soil microbes, a diverse group of microorganisms that reside in

Rhizosphere-colonizing bacteria persist in the protist microbiome

mSphere
ABSTRACT Soils contain diverse predatory protists that affect the abundance and behavior of rhizosphere bacteria, including bacteria that may benefit plant health. Protists harbor their own bacterial microbiomes, and we previously observed that plants inoculated with protists harbored ...

Rhizosphere Microbiomes Respond to Plant‐Parasitic Nematode Cues and Contribute to Host Defence

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant‐parasitic nematodes (PPNs) cause major crop losses, while current nematicides face increasing regulatory restrictions and often show inconsistent efficacy. We tested whether nematode‐associated cues activate rhizosphere microbiomes and cuticle‐associated fungi to produce suppressive metabolites that impair nematodes and stimulate host ...

Biodiversity-based enhancement of rhizosphere microbiome functionality

, 2019
The rhizosphere microbiome is the unseen engine driving agricultural systems. However, intensive agricultural systems, especially the high inputs of fertilizers and pesticides, have caused a widespread loss of microbiome diversity, and decoupled the ...
