Intermittent water stress favors microbial generalists that better help wheat under drought

The paper shows that intermittent water stress history in soil selects for microbial generalists that enhance wheat's drought resistance.

Impact of growth-promoting alternatives on weight gain and gut microbial diversity and activity in piglets

This study evaluates the impact of peri-weaning feeding strategies on gut microbial diversity and activity in piglets, finding limited effects on weight gain but modulatory effects on the microbiota.

The effect of wheat genotype on its microbiome is more evident in roots than rhizosphere and is strongly influenced by time

This study shows that wheat genotype affects root microbiome more than rhizosphere or soil, and this effect varies with time and plant compartment.

Early season soil microbiome best predicts wheat grain quality

The paper finds that early season soil microbial data best predict wheat grain quality, with LASSO regression models highlighting key microbial parameters.

Metatranscriptomic response of the wheat holobiont to decreasing soil water content

The paper examines how wheat and its associated microorganisms respond to decreasing soil water content through metatranscriptomic analysis of roots and rhizosphere samples under different precipitation treatments.

Rhizospheric miRNAs affect the plant microbiota

This study shows plant miRNAs are present in the rhizosphere and influence bacterial gene expression, altering microbial community composition.

Animal soil food web complexity triggers shifts in microbial communities, including PAH degraders, but without clear effects on phenanthrene phytoremediation

This study examines how soil food web complexity affects microbial communities and willow growth in phytoremediation of phenanthrene, finding no significant impact on degradation rates despite changes in microbial composition.

Relative and quantitative rhizosphere microbiome profiling result in distinct abundance patterns

The paper compares relative and quantitative abundance methods for rhizosphere microbiome profiling, finding that absolute abundance provides complementary insights to relative abundance.

Soil characteristics constrain the response of bacterial and fungal communities and hydrocarbon degradation genes to phenanthrene soil contamination and phytoremediation with poplars

Nitrapyrin has far reaching effects on the soil microbial community structure, composition, diversity and functions

This study shows nitrapyrin significantly alters soil microbial community structure, composition, diversity, and nitrogen cycle gene abundance, beyond its effect on ammonia-oxidizers.

Phenanthrene contamination and ploidy level influence the rhizosphere microbiome of Spartina

This study investigates how phenanthrene contamination and ploidy level affect the rhizosphere microbiome of Spartina species, finding that allopolyploids show greater microbial diversity and abundance of hydrocarbon-degrading taxa.
