This study shows that common mycelial networks mediate inter-plant signals that influence biotic stress responses and pathogen defense, independent of mycelial damage.

The paper identifies microbiome functional changes associated with colorectal adenomas in patients undergoing colonoscopy, highlighting altered vitamin K2 and short-chain fatty acid metabolism.

This study investigates factors affecting VLP formation using sobemovirus coat proteins, finding that strong ssDNA binding can hinder production and that chromosome-integrated systems may improve success.

The paper determines the complete genome of Ryegrass mottle virus using 3' RACE and 5' RACE-seq, identifies missing UTR sequences, and develops an infectious cDNA construct that successfully infects oat plants.
