Soil microbes benefit plants by helping with nutrient uptake and disease resistance. Modulating these communities of bacteria ...

Researchers discovered that soil microbes in Kansas carry drought “memories” that affect how plants grow and survive. Native plants showed stronger responses to these microbial legacies than crops ...

Tatsuya Nobori brings high-resolution multiomic approaches to plant biology to map how plants interact with microbes on a ...

Researchers are one step closer to understanding how some plants survive without nitrogen. Their work could eventually reduce ...

Many plants have developed adaptations to environmental extremes such as drought and high salinity. Plant resilience can enhance the vast community of associated microorganisms, collectively known as ...

Plant–microbe interactions underpin a wide array of processes critical to sustainable agriculture. Beneficial microbial communities associated with plants can enhance nutrient acquisition, bolster ...

• Despite considerable attention over the last 25 yr, the importance of early protein breakdown products to plant nitrogen (N) nutrition remains uncertain. • We used rhizosphere injection of 15N-, 13C ...

Among plant-based alternative proteins, plant-based cheese continues to have a function and taste problem. That’s where Plonts comes in. Company founders and co-CEOs Nathaniel Chu and Josh Moser say ...

Future missions to the Moon could see astronauts growing the first plants on the lunar surface. But, getting lunar soil to grow plants has been a tricky process. Scientists may have finally had a ...

Permafrost is the frozen mix of soil, ice, and rocks that occupies nearly a quarter of the land in the northern hemisphere.
