The Growth Promotion of Peppers (Capsicum annuum L.) by Trichoderma guizhouense NJAU4742-Based Biological Organic Fertilizer: Possible Role of Increasing Nutrient Availabilities

Microorganisms, 2020
Trichoderma spp. is a cosmopolitan group of soil fungi which plays a remarkable role in stimulating plant growth after interacting with plant roots and has good application prospects in intensive agriculture.

The sensitivity of photosynthesis to magnesium deficiency differs between rice (Oryza sativa L.) and cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Magnesium is an essential macronutrient for plant photosynthesis, and in response to Mg deficiency, dicots appear more sensitive than monocots. Under Mg deficiency, we investigated the causes of differing photosynthetic sensitivities in a dicot and a ...

Learning from Seed Microbes: Trichoderma Coating Intervenes in Rhizosphere Microbiome Assembly

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
Seed-associated microbiomes can impact the later colonization of a plant rhizosphere microbiome. However, there remains little insight into the underlying mechanisms concerning how alterations in the composition of the seed microbiome may intervene in ...

Two-step genomic sequence comparison strategy to design Trichoderma strain-specific primers for quantitative PCR

AMB Express, 2019
Survival of inoculated fungal strains in a new environment plays a critical role in functional performance, but few studies have focused on strain-specific quantitative PCR (qPCR) methods for monitoring beneficial fungi.

Identification of Adhesins in Plant Beneficial Rhizobacteria Bacillus velezensis SQR9 and Their Effect on Root Colonization

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2022
Probiotic Bacillus colonization of plant root surfaces has been reported to improve its beneficial effect. Chemotaxis, adhesion, aggregation, and biofilm formation are the four steps of root colonization by plant growth–promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs ...

Diversity-triggered deterministic bacterial assembly constrains community functions

Nature Communications, 2019
The role of microbial β-diversity in soil ecosystem function is not well-studied. Here, the authors use genetic data to show that microbial α-diversity levels may have impacts on stochastic/deterministic assembly processes and functions of soil ...

Temporal Dynamics of Rare and Abundant Soil Bacterial Taxa from Different Fertilization Regimes Under Various Environmental Disturbances

mSystems, 2022
Global climate change has emerged as a critical environmental problem. Different types of climate extremes drive soil microbial communities to alternative states, leading to a series of consequences for soil microbial ecosystems and related functions. An

Long‐term hippocampal alterations and cognitive impairment in a murine model of surgical sepsis

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Using a mouse model of surgical sepsis, we tested long‐term memory and analyzed the transcriptome of single cells isolated from the hippocampus. Survivor mice showed worse memory, loss of certain brain cell subpopulations, and abnormal immune cell activity—suggesting that post‐sepsis brain alterations may be linked to cognitive deficits.
