This study investigates maize-bean intercropping through on-farm surveys and field assays, finding competition dominates over cooperation, primarily affecting bean yield and gene expression.

The paper isolates and characterizes plant-beneficial Helotiales fungi from alpine non-mycorrhizal plants, showing they are common and potentially beneficial.

The paper shows that soil suppressive against plant pathogens also controls insect pests by reducing plant stress responses and altering microbiome dynamics.
