Combination of biochar and PGPBs amendment suppresses soil-borne pathogens by modifying plant-associated microbiome
Consecutive monoculture regimes lead to the emergence of soil-borne diseases, which in turn impair plant growth and soil health, and …
DOI
Induced responses contribute to rapid adaptation of Spirodela polyrhiza to herbivory by Lymnaea stagnalis
Herbivory-induced responses in plants are typical examples of phenotypic plasticity, and their evolution is thought to be driven by …

Subtle responses of soil bacterial communities to corn-soybean-wheat rotation
Crop rotational diversity can improve crop productivity, soil health, and boost soil microbial diversity. This research hypothesized …
DOI
Natural rubber reduces herbivory and alters the microbiome below ground
Laticifers are hypothesized to mediate both plant-herbivore and plant-microbe interactions. However, there is little evidence for this …
DOI
Plant genotype influence the structure of cereal seed fungal microbiome
Plant genotype is a crucial factor for the assembly of the plant-associated microbial communities. However, we still know little about …
