Fungi play a crucial role in aquatic leaf litter decomposition. Aquatic fungi have long been thought to spend the majority of their lives in the water. Here, we explore the possibility of an amphibious life cycle, where phyllosphere fungi spend part of their life cycle in aquatic systems.

Plants and microorganisms coexist within complex ecosystems, significantly influencing agricultural productivity. Depending on the interaction between the plant and microbes, this interaction can either help or harm plant health. Microbes interact with plants by secreting proteins that influence plant cells, producing bioactive compounds like antibiotics or toxins, and releasing molecules such as N-acyl homoserine lactones to coordinate their behaviour.

Understanding the impact of different soil amendments on microbial communities and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) dissemination is crucial for optimizing agricultural practices and mitigating environmental risks. This study investigated the effects of different fertilizer regimes and biochar on plant-associated bacterial communities and ARGs dissemination. The biochar's structural and chemical characteristics were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, revealing a porous architecture with diverse functional groups.

The leaf surface, known as the phylloplane, presents an oligotrophic and heterogeneous environment due to its topography and uneven distribution of resources. Although it is a challenging environment, leaves support abundant bacterial communities that are spatially structured. However, the factors influencing these spatial distribution patterns are not well understood.

Unlabelled: Plant-associated microbial communities strongly relate to host health and productivity. Still, our knowledge of microbial community spatiotemporal patterns in soil-plant continuum is largely limited. Here, we explored the spatiotemporal dynamics of fungal communities across multiple compartments (phyllosphere, leaf endosphere, soil, rhizosphere, rhizoplane, and root endosphere) of rubber tree in two contrasting seasons collected from Hainan Island and Xishuangbanna.
