Horizontal Gene Transfer in Plants and Implications for Biotechnology
Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 6, Issue 5, October 2025.ABSTRACT Horizontal gene transfer (HGT), a fundamental process long acknowledged in prokaryotic evolution, is increasingly recognized as a pivotal force in shaping the evolutionary trajectories of eukaryotes, including plants. Despite its established significance in prokaryotic adaptation, the role of HGT in eukaryotic evolution is still understudied ...

Microbial drivers of root plasticity
New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 1, Page 52-67, October 2025.Summary Soils are highly heterogeneous and dynamic systems, experiencing a constant flow of plant root exudates and moisture fluctuations that affect nutrient distribution, soil physicochemical properties, and microbial metabolisms. Plant roots adjust their development within the soil matrix (growth, branching, root angle, and anatomical features) by ...

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2025.Abstract The need for low‐cost carrier materials is paramount for rhizobium inoculants production, especially in sub‐Saharan Africa. This research studied different feedstocks biochar as potential carriers for inoculant production. Coconut coir (CC), coconut shell (CS), rice husk (RH), and sugarcane bagasse (SB) biochars were used as carriers, and ...
