Corylus avellana disease management: using metagenomics to illuminate the rhizosphere microbiome of hazelnut

This study uses metagenomics to analyze the rhizosphere microbiomes of hazelnut trees with different resistance levels to a fungal pathogen, finding no significant differences in microbial diversity but identifying potential microbial candidates for disease management.

Surveying the Hormonome of Hazelnut Catkins During Winter Dormancy

The paper measures hormone levels in hazelnut catkins during dormancy to understand dormancy regulation and identify strategies to delay blooming.

Impaired methyl recycling induces substantial shifts in sulfur utilization in Arabidopsis

This study shows that impaired methyl recycling in Arabidopsis leads to shifts in sulfur utilization, affecting metabolism, gene methylation, and plant development.
