Linking root-associated fungal and bacterial functions to root economics

The paper links fungal and bacterial functions in root-associated communities to root economics traits in a subtropical forest.

Exploring the Interactive Effects of Seed and Site Limitation on Recruitment Dynamics in Panicum hallii

The paper investigates how seed and site limitations interact to affect recruitment in Panicum hallii, finding a significant three-way interaction between seed addition, site conditions, and soil disturbance.

Evolutionary analyses of gene expression divergence in Panicum hallii: exploring constitutive and plastic responses using reciprocal transplants

This study examines gene expression divergence in Panicum hallii using reciprocal transplants, finding constitutive divergence but no plastic responses, and links divergence to cis-regulatory factors.

The ecology and quantitative genetics of seed and seedling traits in upland and lowland ecotypes of a perennial grass

This study investigates seed and seedling trait variation in upland and lowland ecotypes of Panicum hallii, finding genetic trade-offs between seed size and dormancy and evidence of local adaptation.

Patterns of pan-genome occupancy and gene co-expression under water-deficit in Brachypodium distachyon.

The paper integrates pan-genomic analysis with transcriptomic data to examine how gene occupancy and co-expression patterns differ under drought stress in Brachypodium distachyon.

Salt tolerance QTL derived from the Bangladeshi landrace Horkuch

The paper identifies salt tolerance QTL in rice using a reciprocal mapping population and highlights cytoplasm-nuclear interactions and trait co-localization.

Artificial Microbiome-Selection to Engineer Microbiomes That Confer Salt-Tolerance to Plants

This paper develops an artificial microbiome-selection method to engineer salt-tolerant microbiomes for the plant Brachypodium distachyon, showing significant fitness improvements under sodium- and aluminum-sulfate stress.
