This study shows that seed tuber microbiomes are influenced by their production field and genotype, and these effects persist through storage and into the next generation, without direct vertical inheritance of specific microbes.

This study investigates how an endophytic yeast reduces the defense response and stress in elm trees infected with Dutch elm disease.

This study shows that Bacillus velezensis SQR9 uses a type VII secretion system to acquire iron from plant roots, enhancing its colonization.

This study shows that a plant-antagonistic bacterium can evolve into a mutualist in the Arabidopsis rhizosphere within six months through genetic changes enhancing competitiveness and plant signaling activation.

This study uses experimental evolution to identify 35 mutations in 28 genes that enhance Pseudomonas protegens' ability to colonize the Arabidopsis thaliana rhizosphere.

The paper identifies a novel SA-responsive gene family in Arabidopsis, showing their role in disease resistance and photomorphogenesis through overexpression experiments.

This study shows aphid feeding reduces DNA methylation in Arabidopsis, affecting gene expression and plant defense against aphids.

This study uses RNA-Seq time series analysis of Arabidopsis thaliana to detail the dynamics of the jasmonic acid gene regulatory network and identify key transcription factors involved in plant defense.
