This study shows compost improves tomato drought resilience by enhancing water retention and modulating root gene expression through its microbial community.

This study shows that industrial compost from urban biowaste increases bacterial diversity and functional traits in tomato rhizosphere compared to chemical fertilizer.

The paper isolates and characterizes compost-derived bacteria, identifies a candidate bioinoculant, and shows its effects on tomato physiology and leaf metabolism.

This study examines the early molecular and metabolic responses of tomato plants to compost-derived bacteria, identifying common and strain-specific physiological signatures.

This study identifies LjMLO4 as a regulator of root development in Lotus japonicus, showing it mediates Ca2+ signalling via LjRALF34 peptides, influencing root growth and lateral root formation.
