The paper investigates how plants respond to pathogen-induced extracellular water, finding that it triggers an atypical immune response mediated by salicylic acid.

This study evaluates four taxonomic profilers using real metagenomic data to show how tool choice and parameters affect diversity analysis outcomes.

The paper examines how season and city characteristics influence urban bioaerosol composition, finding that sampling period explains more variation than vegetation cover or socioeconomic factors.

The paper describes the Montreal Urban Observatory, which monitors urban forest ecosystems to study biodiversity, ecosystem function, and human health, revealing disparities in tree diversity between public and private spaces.

This study compares fungal communities in conventional and organic apple orchards, finding that management strategies shape fungal composition and diversity over time.

This study shows that chloroplast-derived reactive oxygen species (cROS) trigger salicylic acid (SA) biosynthesis, a key step in plant immunity, and that pathogen effectors disrupt this process.
