This study evaluates scRNA-seq foundation models for plant perturbation response prediction, finding that performance varies significantly with evaluation protocol and that preserving gene identity improves generalization.

ZeaMiC provides a culture collection of maize root-associated bacteria to study plant-microbe and microbe-microbe interactions.

This study shows that Turnip mosaic virus selectively filters bacterial root microbiomes in Arabidopsis thaliana, with genotype-specific effects on community composition and network structure.

The paper shows that soil microbiota legacy effects from precipitation influence plant drought responses, benefiting native grasses but not maize.
