The paper identifies widespread rhizobia in soils and legumes on O'ahu, Hawai'i, finding Bradyrhizobium as the dominant nodulator and showing its ability to enhance growth of an endemic legume.

The paper studies fungal community changes along environmental gradients in geothermal soils, finding associations between fungal groups and soil variables, and showing varying tolerance to pH and heat.

This study shows KS-WNK1 amplifies NCC activity in response to potassium changes via WNK bodies, leading to sex-specific renal salt-wasting and blood pressure sensitivity.

The paper uses community RNA-Seq to analyze multi-kingdom microbial responses to living and decaying root inputs in soil, finding shifts in microbial community composition and substrate preferences.

This study investigates whether competitive ability explains host specificity or rarity in ectomycorrhizal fungi, finding that S. subaureus is not a poor competitor but has delayed colonization.
