Rhizosphere effects on cadmium fractionation in contaminated soils: a comparative study of ultisols and alfisols

Scientific Reports
Elucidating the impact of rhizosphere interactions on soil heavy metal accumulation and speciation is essential for accurately assessing heavy metal bioavailability and remediating contaminated soils.

Challenges and Future Directives of Synthetic Biology in Engineering Plant–Microbe Partnerships for Sustainable Agriculture

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Synthetic biology has recently proven to be a valuable tool for enhancing agriculture even in the face of environmental and biological stresses. Understanding the challenges that militate synthetic biology will assist in ensuring safe, stable, and scalable crop production.

Soil bacteriostasis limitation in growth of soil and rhizosphere bacteria

Canadian Journal of Microbiology, 1973
Sensitivity of soil bacteria to bacteriostasis was assessed by an agar disk method. Most bacteria isolated from wheat rhizosphere (98%) were sensitive and those not stimulated by roots were not sensitive. Bacteriostasis was always overcome by the addition of wheat root exudates to the disks and sometimes by the addition of glucose or mineral salts ...

Enhancing the Secretion Systems: Genetic Engineering of Super Bioagents for Effective Plant Disease Control

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
Genetic engineering (GE) overcomes BCA limits, enabling robust, scalable crop protection. “Super Bioagents” (SBs) use optimized SSs to enhance bioactive molecule delivery. Optimizing SSs enhance precise, sustainable effector deployment for stable disease suppression. SBs use microbiome‐informed design for scalable, next‐gen sustainable crop protection.

When Nature Counts: Corporate Biodiversity Attention and Access to Bank Finance

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates whether corporate attention to biodiversity influences firms' access to bank loans, an overlooked question in the emerging biodiversity–finance literature. Using a novel, text‐based measure constructed from 446 biodiversity‐related keywords and applied to Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2000 to 2023, we show that ...

Breeding switchgrass for reduced nitrogen demand

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Breeding has improved switchgrass biomass yield, but productivity is still heavily dependent on nitrogen fertilizer application. The genetic diversity needed to improve nitrogen use efficiency of switchgrass remains underused, mainly because of the slow and laborious breeding process, thus leaving the crop's high nitrogen demand as a major barrier to ...

The nitrogen dilemma: Toward a novel fertilization management framework for reconciling productivity and diversity in grasslands

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Nitrogen fertilization raises grassland productivity but steadily undermines plant diversity. Instead of applying the same rate everywhere every year, the PRISM framework is designed to rotate high‐ and low‐nitrogen paddocks across the farm over time. This spatiotemporal cycling aims to maintain farm‐scale productivity while creating periodic windows ...

Microbiome‐mediated plant‐soil feedbacks as a tool for resilient agriculture

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Translating plant‐soil feedbacks (PSFs) into reliable agricultural management requires shifting from input‐dependent practices toward endogenous, process‐driven crop resilience. To bridge this gap, we propose a predictive framework centered on three strategic interventions: engineering the crop holobiont, diversifying the soil habitat, and deploying ...

A synthetic community promotes macadamia growth via root‐microbe interactions and systemic plant responses

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
We employed an 18‐month pot experiment and an integrated multi‐omics approach to elucidate the potential mechanisms underlying synthetic community (SynCom)‐mediated macadamia growth promotion. SynCom inoculation enhanced soil nitrogen cycling and potential nutrient (e.g., iron) acquisition.

Enviromics crosstalk between internal and external plant environments for enhanced adaptation and de novo domestication

iMeta, EarlyView.
Climate change demands accelerated plant adaptation and de novo domestication. Yet current enviromics focuses disproportionately on external environments, neglecting internal dynamics—gene expression, metabolic flux, and signal transduction—within predictive envirotyping frameworks.
