Immunity and bacterial recruitment in plant leaves are parallel processes that together shape sensitivity to temperature stress

This study compares two Arabidopsis genotypes to show how immunity and bacterial recruitment interact to influence heat stress tolerance.

Beyond defense: Glucosinolate structural diversity shapes recruitment of a metabolic network of leaf-associated bacteria

The paper shows that structural variations in glucosinolates affect bacterial community recruitment in Arabidopsis thaliana, with allyl-GLS enriching Burkholderiales bacteria.

Toehold-Mediated Strand Displacement in Random Sequence Pools

This study investigates how random DNA sequences affect toehold-mediated strand displacement circuits and identifies strategies to mitigate their impact.

Leaf bacterial community structure and variation in wild ruderal plants are shaped by the interaction of host species and defense chemistry with environment

The paper examines how host species, defense chemistry, and environmental factors shape leaf bacterial community variation in wild ruderal plants.

Obtaining deeper insights into microbiome diversity using a simple method to block host and non-targets in amplicon sequencing

The paper introduces blocking oligos and an R package to reduce non-target DNA amplification in amplicon sequencing, improving microbial diversity analysis in plant systems.
