Do microbial effects on hosts vary across life stage and vitalrate?

Joshua C. Fowler, Gwendolyn B. Pohlmann, Eleanor Hay…·Michelle E. Afkhami

This study meta-analyzes 1,736 host-symbiont effect sizes to assess how microbial effects on host vital rates vary across life stages and taxa, finding consistent benefits across stages but varying magnitudes and symbiont types.

Gene family expansions underpin context-dependency of the oldest mycorrhizal symbiosis.

Damian J. Hernandez, Gwendolyn B. Pohlmann, Michelle E. Afkhami

The paper shows gene family expansions, mainly from tandem duplications, underpin context-dependent regulation of mycorrhizal symbiosis and its impact on plant fitness.
