Comparative analysis of root microbiomes in four Swertia species from Taiwan

Site- and Compartment-Associated Differentiation of Root Microbiomes in Rhododendron yunnanense

Root-associated microbiomes vary across environmental settings and root compartments, but these patterns remain poorly understood in wild woody plants. Here, we compared bacterial and fungal communities in the rhizosphere and root endosphere of Rhododendron yunnanense across four montane sampling sites in Yunnan, China...

Phenology-dependent assembly and functional potential of the Artemisia lavandulifolia rhizosphere microbiome

Findings demonstrate that plant ontogeny is associated with stage-dependent shifts in the functional potential of the A. lavandulifolia rhizosphere microbiome, suggesting adaptive adjustments in microbially mediated nutrient cycling to meet heightened host metabolic demands during late vegetative growth.

Dominance of ascomycota and ubiquity of Trichoderma in Argemone mexicana microbiomes across Assam, India

In India, Argemone mexicana is known for its pharmaceutical value. The plant hosts many endophytes. Plant-associated microbes also help plants with development and protection. A metagenomic study of rhizospheric soil, roots, and shoots was conducted to investigate variation in the organization and dive...

Integrated nanopore profiling of fungal and bacterial endophytes reveals microbiome reorganization in Catharanthus roseus under heavy metal stress.

Endophytes play a crucial role in plant adaptation to environmental stress; however, their coordinated responses to heavy metal contamination remain insufficiently understood, particularly in medicinal plants. This study investigated the influence of metal-contaminated soils on the composition and structuring of endoph...

Gut Microbiomes of Two Bamboo Locusts Reveal Divergent Metabolic Potentials

The enrichment of predicted carbohydrate‐ and lipid‐related pathways in C. kiangsu generates a testable hypothesis that its gut microbiota may be associated with host energy metabolism, but direct links to flight performance or ecological fitness require further experimental validation.
