Taking genomics outdoors: linking local adaptation, trait variation, and gene expression in grass ecotypes across a rainfall gradient

Jack Sytsma, Matthew Galliart, Kian Fogarty, Kori Howe, Bradley J. S. C. Olson, Sara G. Baer, David John Gibson, Brian R. Maricle, Eli Hartung, Loretta Johnson

The paper links gene expression and trait variation to drought responses in grass ecotypes across a rainfall gradient, confirming local adaptation and identifying adaptive strategies.

Plant host identity drives Andropogon gerardii rhizobiome assembly strategies under increasing abiotic stress

Brooke Vogt, Anna Kazarina, Jack Sytsma, Bryttan Adams, Leslie Rodela, Dasik Clouse, Reece Keller, Darcy Thompson, Helen Winters, Maggie R. Wagner, Ari Jumpponen, Loretta C. Johnson, Sonny T. M. Lee

This study shows that regional precipitation significantly influences the microbial communities in the rhizosphere of Andropogon gerardii, with arid regions showing more stochastic microbial assembly and host-benefiting taxa.
