Microbial community composition, but not diversity, influence microbial necromass mineralization

The study shows that microbial community composition, not diversity, influences necromass mineralization, with specific microbes driving ammonification and nitrification.

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.

Previous legume identity influence wheat rhizosphere microbial communities and grain protein content

This study shows that growing faba beans before wheat increases soil ammonium and wheat grain protein content without changing microbial enzymatic activity or community composition.

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.

The metatranscriptomic response of the wheat rhizosphere to drought varies with growth stages.

This study examines how drought stress impacts the wheat rhizosphere microbiome at different growth stages, finding stage-specific metatranscriptomic responses and altered microbial succession.

Title: Coordinated plant and microbial transcriptional responses to oil-sands process-affected water

The paper examines coordinated transcriptional responses of plants and microbes to oil-sands process-affected water using metatranscriptomics.

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.

Potential mode of action of multispecies inoculums on wheat growth under water stress

This study identifies a multispecies inoculum that enhances wheat growth under drought by directly promoting plant growth traits and indirectly altering root-associated microbial communities.

Plant miRNAs and amino acids interact to shape soil bacterial communities.

This study shows plant miRNAs affect soil bacterial amino acid consumption and community composition, with positive effects despite inhibiting uptake.
