Shrub encroachment influences root traits and mycorrhization in subalpine grasslands
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Shrub encroachment into grasslands modifies ecosystem functions, species composition and soil properties. However, knowledge about its detailed below‐ground effects and specifically on concurrent changes in root traits and mycorrhizal associations is missing. We studied

Seed‐Associated Trichoderma and Their Potential as Biocontrol Agents Against Plant Diseases
Trichoderma is a genus of beneficial fungi widely used in agriculture. Over 2 years of routine seed health analyses, we investigated the diversity of seed‐borne Trichoderma strains associated with seeds from 32 cultivated plant species. We assessed their mycoparasitic activity and their potential for disease suppression and plant growth promotion ...

ABSTRACT Edible insects are increasingly recognized for their high nutritional value and favorable environmental profile, yet their acceptance (defined as the continuum from willingness to try and purchase to repeated consumption) in Western and globalized food systems remains limited by cultural, sensory, regulatory, and economic barriers.

The selective nature through which coumarin compounds produced by different species of plants target PQS signalling in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and select for distinct phenotypic responses in key pathogenic organisms adds to the growing evidence of their utility as natural virulence suppressors. ABSTRACT Cell‐to‐cell communication in microbial systems is
