Article Synopsis
- The research focuses on understanding how plants and microbes interact, specifically using a new method called Cas-16S-seq to study the bacterial communities in plants like the non-domesticated Leptospermum scoparium (mānuka).
- Traditional methods often struggle with host contamination, but Cas-16S-seq effectively removes this interference, allowing for a clearer analysis of bacterial sequences.
- This study showed that using Cas-16S-seq enhanced the recovery of bacterial sequences significantly, validating its effectiveness and potential for future microbiota research in wild plant species.
Aims: Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can perform significant functions within sustainable agricultural ecosystems, including vineyards. Increased AMF diversity can be beneficial in promoting plant growth and increasing resilience to environmental changes. To effectively utilize AMF communities and their benefits in vineyard ecosystems, a better understanding of how management systems influence AMF community composition is needed.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFFlowers are an important niche for microbes, and microbes in turn influence plant fitness. As flower morphology and biology change rapidly over time, dynamic niches for microbes are formed and lost. Floral physiology at each life stage can therefore influence arrival, persistence and loss of microbial species; however, this remains little understood despite its potential consequences for host reproductive success.

The evolution of pathogens to accommodate new hosts may lead to host range expansion, a process the molecular bases of which are largely enigmatic. The fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum has been reported to parasitize more than 400 plant species from diverse eudicot families while its close relative, S.

Their resilience and increased stretching ability were optimized to ease injectors' practice and provide patients with most natural aesthetic results.
Objective: This study aimed at evaluating the efficacy, durability, and safety of these resilient HA fillers versus commercially available comparator gels.
