DOI: 10.1002/ps.5440
Abstract: Crops are negatively affected by abiotic and biotic stresses, however, plant-microbe cooperation allows prompt buffering of these environmental changes. Microorganisms exhibit an extensive metabolic capability to assist plants in reducing these burdens. Interestingly, beneficial microbes… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2435.13109
Abstract: Plant resource partitioning is a mechanism promoting species coexistence and ecosystem functioning. Yet, we still have limited understanding of how soil microbes, especially plant symbiotic microbes, influence resource partitioning. We hypothesized that soil-borne microbes, in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/msystems.00301-22
Abstract: Understanding environmental controls on soil microbes is difficult because many abiotic parameters vary simultaneously and uncontrollably when different natural soils are compared, preventing mechanistic determination of any individual soil parameter’s effect on microbial behaviors. We… read more here.

DOI: 10.1680/jenes.22.00096
Abstract: Pesticides newly introduced into the soil are normally poorly degraded by the native soil microbes. However, studies have demonstrated that repeated pesticide exposure to the soil microbes potentially enhances their biodegradation through selective enrichment of… read more here.
