The rhizosphere is an active compartment where plant and microorganisms establish a molecular dialogue. In this study, we analysed the impact of Arabidopsis thaliana on bacterial community structure and the expression of certain beneficial genes using DNA- and mRNA-SIP in the rhizosphere of plantlets grown under (13)CO(2) for 13, 21 and 27 days. DNA- and rRNA-SIP revealed changes in bacterial communities inhabiting the rhizosphere soil that were probably related to modification of root exudates, while root-colonizing populations were maintained over time suggesting their metabolic versatility and adaptation. The impact of the plant via root exudates on the expression of the noncoding RNAs rsmZ, acdS gene encoding 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase and nosZ gene encoding nitrous oxide reductase, in the root-adhering soil and on the roots of A. thaliana was determined using mRNA-SIP. Results showed that these genes were present and expressed by bacteria inhabiting roots and by those that derive nutrients from the breakdown of organic matter in soils or from root exudates. The expression of rsmZ under natural conditions indicates the importance of noncoding RNAs in bacterial adaptation to their ecological niches.

Cadmium (Cd) is recognized as one of the most toxic heavy metal in the environment that causes pronounced phytotoxicity. This study investigated the physiological and biochemical responses and detoxification mechanisms of Hemarthria compressa under various concentrations of Cd stress (0, 30, 60, 90, and 270 mg·kg). Our research findings indicate that the growth and photosynthetic capacity of H.

Pinus pinaster Aiton (maritime pine) stands are suffering a generalized deterioration due to different decline episodes throughout all its distribution area. It is well known that external disturbances can alter the plant associated microbiota and metabolome, which ultimately can entail the disruption of the normal growth of the hosts. Notwithstanding, very little is known about the shifts in the microbiota and the metabolome in pine trees affected by decline.

As farming practices evolve and climate conditions shift, achieving sustainable food production for a growing global population requires innovative strategies to optimize environmentally friendly practices and minimize ecological impacts. Agroecosystems, which integrate agricultural practices with the surrounding environment, play a vital role in maintaining ecological balance and ensuring food security. Rhizosphere management has emerged as a pivotal approach to enhancing crop yields, reducing reliance on synthetic fertilizers, and supporting sustainable agriculture.

, one of the world's most destructive invasive species, is known for causing significant ecological and economic harm. While extensive research has focused on its growth characteristics, secondary metabolites, and control measures, its chemical interactions with the environment-particularly the role of flavonoids in shaping soil microbial communities-remain underexplored. In this study, we identified and quantified ten flavonoids from root exudates using UPLC-MS, including Hispidulin, Isorhamnetin, and Mikanin.
