Invasive Chinese tallow is associated with distinct rhizosphere microbial communities, core microbiomes, and functional potential relative to native Loblolly pine

This study compares rhizosphere microbial communities and functional potential between invasive Chinese tallow and native Loblolly pine, finding distinct microbial structures and functions associated with the invasion.

Variovorax paradoxus alleviates bicarbonate-induced Fe limitation in cotton by altering the root-associated microbiome

This study shows that Variovorax paradoxus improves cotton growth and Fe nutrition under bicarbonate-induced Fe limitation by altering root-associated microbial communities.

Localized co-inoculation of Bacillus subtilis and Trichoderma afroharzianum acts synergistically to reshape the root microbiome and improve plant performance in sorghum

This study shows that co-inoculating Bacillus subtilis and Trichoderma afroharzianum improves sorghum growth by reshaping the root microbiome.

Trichoderma afroharzianum behaves differently in interaction with pea plants under varying iron availability

This study shows Trichoderma afroharzianum T22 enhances pea plants under Fe deficiency but has minimal effects under Fe sufficiency, with context-dependent gene expression and microbiome changes.
