This paper shows that salt stress causes Arabidopsis roots to skew right, reversing the left skew caused by phosphate, and identifies GLT1 and DOB1 as involved in these responses.

This study identifies strigolactones as nitrogen-responsive rhizosphere signals in tomato that recruit beneficial bacteria under nitrogen limitation.

PESCAR improves detection of subtle response-related patterns in multi-omics data by integrating response information into multiblock decomposition.

The paper enhances strigolactone production in Nicotiana benthamiana through metabolic engineering and identifies a novel P450 enzyme function in sorgolactone biosynthesis.

This study shows that spent mushroom substrate adsorbs fusaric acid, reducing its toxicity to cucumber rhizosphere microbes and alleviating Fusarium wilt disease.

This study identifies Solanoeclepin A (SolA) as a rhizosphere signaling molecule that recruits growth-promoting microbes under nitrogen deficiency, revealing its dual role in plant-microbe interactions and nematode attraction.

The paper maps quantitative trait loci for root exudate metabolome in tomato and links them to rhizosphere microbiome composition.

The paper identifies a mutation in a glucosyltransferase gene that prevents self-attack in parasitic plants by inactivating endogenous haustorium-inducing factors.

MASCARA improves coexpression analysis in designed experiments by removing experimental variance to detect pathway-related coexpression patterns.

The paper proposes a combined differential abundance analysis method for sparse microbiome data with group-wise zeros, validated through simulations and applied to plant microbiome datasets.

The paper predicts precursor cation specificity in plant sesquiterpene synthases using machine learning and co-evolution analysis, identifying key residues for enzyme function.

The paper analyzes plant sesquiterpene synthases to identify motifs and unexplored sequence regions, and demonstrates a database application for guiding mutagenesis studies on product specificity.
