MAIZE ASSOCIATED BACTERIAL AND FUNGAL MICROBIOMES SHOW CONTRASTING CONFORMATION PATTERNS DEPENDENT ON PLANT COMPARTMENT AND WATER AVAILABILITY

Maize associated bacterial and fungal microbiomes show contrasting conformation patterns dependent on plant compartment and water availability

Abstract Plant-associated microorganisms can help crops to Watch Accessories alleviate stress and increase the resilience of agricultural ecosystems to climate change.However, we still lack knowledge on the dynamics of soil and plant microbiomes and their response to changing conditions.This information is essential for the development of microbiom

Abortive Process of a Novel Rapeseed Cytoplasmic Male Sterility Line Derived from Somatic Hybrids Between Brassica napus and Sinapis alba

Somatic hybridization is performed to obtain significant cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) lines, whose CMS genes are derived either from the transfer of sterile genes from the mitochondrial genome of donor parent to the counterpart of receptor or production of new sterile genes caused by mitochondrial genome recombination of the biparent during pro

Probiotics: their action against pathogens can be turned around

Abstract Probiotics when applied in complex evolving (micro-)ecosystems, might be selectively beneficial or detrimental to pathogens when their prophylactic efficacies are prone to ambient interactions.Here, we document a counter-intuitive phenomenon that probiotic-treated zebrafish (Danio rerio) were respectively healthy at higher but succumbed at
