Diverse root fungal endophytes mediate plant access to soil nutrients

The paper investigates how diverse root fungal endophytes affect plant nutrient acquisition by testing their impact on nitrogen and phosphorus uptake in switchgrass under different nutrient treatments.

Drought Dominates Engineered Lipid Sink Effects on Sorghum Physiology and Carbon Allocation

This study examines how drought affects carbon allocation in oil-enhanced sorghum, showing that drought overrides engineered lipid sink effects on root carbon investment and soil carbon delivery.

Assessing the Potential of Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) for Storing Carbon Belowground: Insights from a Multi-Site US Study

This study evaluates switchgrass's impact on belowground carbon storage by comparing it to annual crops across multiple sites, finding increased root biomass but uncertain overall SOC effects.
