Large-scale multi-omics analyses identified root-microbiome associations underlying plant nitrogen nutrition

The paper identifies root-microbiome associations affecting plant nitrogen nutrition through multi-omics analyses of 1,341 rapeseed samples.

High robustness of cytosolic glutathione redox potential under combined salt and osmotic stress in barley as revealed by the biosensor Grx1-roGFP2

The paper generates and characterizes barley plants expressing Grx1-roGFP2, showing cytosolic glutathione redox potential remains stable under combined salt and osmotic stress.

ENHANCED GRAVITROPISM 2 coordinates molecular adaptations to gravistimulation in the elongation zone of barley roots

This study identifies EGT2 as a central regulator of gravitropic responses in barley roots by analyzing transcriptomic changes and interaction networks in response to gravistimulation.

ENHANCED GRAVITROPISM 2 encodes a STERILE ALPHA MOTIVE containing protein that controls root growth angle in barley and wheat

This study identifies EGT2 as a conserved gene regulating root growth angle in barley and wheat through gravity response, with potential for crop improvement.

Root type and soil phosphate determine the taxonomic landscape of colonizing fungi and the transcriptome of field-grown maize roots

The paper shows that maize root type and soil phosphate levels shape fungal communities and root transcriptomes, with lateral roots showing specific defense responses and reduced arbuscular mycorrhiza colonization at high phosphate.
