Soil nutrient limitation and natural enemies promote the establishment of alien species in native communities.

The invasion of alien plant species threatens the composition and diversity of native communities. However, the invasiveness of alien plants and the resilience of native communities are dependent on the interactions between biotic and abiotic factors, such as natural enemies and nutrient availability. In our study, we simulated the invasion of nine invasive plant species into native plant communities using two levels of nutrient availability and suppression of natural enemies.

Metabolic profiling reveals local and systemic responses of kiwifruit to pv. .

pv. (), a bacterial pathogen, causes bacterial canker disease in kiwifruit. To elucidate the local and systemic influences of infection on kiwifruit, comprehensive analyses were conducted by combining metabolomic and physiological approach under -infected treatment and mock-inoculated control in leaves, stems, and bleeding saps.
