Farming and climate legacies shape the seed microbiota and offspring drought responses in wheat

The paper investigates how farming and climate legacies influence seed microbiota and offspring drought responses in wheat across generations.

Intra-individual variation in leaf microbiota matches within-crown environmental heterogeneity and promotes tree performance

The paper shows that matching microbial communities with their environment in tree crowns improves plant performance.

Differential drought sensitivity of total and active wheat rhizosphere microbiome during rainfall reduction

The paper examines how drought affects the total and active microbiome in wheat roots, finding greater sensitivity in the active microbiome and VOC emissions in drought-sensitive wheat.

Seed microbiota legacy mitigates the effect of drought in wheat

The paper shows that seed microbiota from drought-stressed wheat plants improve yield stability in subsequent generations under water stress.

Natural genetic transformation of the wheat rhizosphere microbial community through DNA inoculations

The paper shows that adding DNA from water-stressed soils to wheat rhizosphere communities can reduce plant stress by transferring beneficial genes.

Soil microbial legacies and cultivar compatibility modulate the responses of wheat to drought

This study shows that soil microbial legacies from different farming and climate histories affect wheat's drought response, with varying impacts based on cultivar genotype.

A new tool in a toolbox: Addressing challenges in high-throughput microbiota surveys across diverse wild insects

The paper introduces a high-throughput quantitative multi-target amplicon sequencing workflow to improve microbial community profiling in wild insects, addressing contamination and identification issues.

Biological and experimental factors that define the effectiveness of microbial inoculation on plant traits: a meta-analysis

This study conducts a meta-analysis to evaluate how biological and experimental factors influence the effectiveness of microbial inoculation on plant traits.
