#RiceResearch #SustainableAgriculture #PlantMicrobiome
Synergistic effects of soil treatment with Serendipita indica and Azotobacter chroococcum on physiological parameters and yield of rice (Oryza sativa L.)
The study aims to investigate out the effects of Azotobacter chroococcum and Serendipita indica inoculation, individually and in combination, on photosynthetic pigments, relative water content (RWC), and morpho-agronomic traits in rice varieties 1718 and 1121.

Reproducibility in #plant #microbiome experiments. This collaborative effort involving 5 labs achieved consistent, inoculum-dependent results, providing detailed protocols, datasets & best practices to promote #reproducibility in #PlantMicrobiome studies @plosbiology.org 🧪https://plos.io/41IVzzk
Top: Experimental design where five laboratories across three continents conducted the same experiment using shipped materials. These included a detailed protocol, SynComs and Mock solution stocks, light and temperature loggers, Brachypodium distachyon seeds, EcoFAB 2.0 device parts, and various lab supplies (growth medium, filters, sampling tubes). The authors inoculated B. distachyon plants with either a 16- or 17-member SynCom, with controls being axenic plants and medium-only technical control (Mock-inoculated), n = 7. They tested sterility and imaged roots at multiple time points, quantified plant biomass, analyzed exudate metabolite composition, and measured root and medium microbiomes.

doi.org/10.1038/s414...
Figure 1 in Ma et al. (2025): "Proposed distribution of microbes along the soil-plant-human gut microbiome axis. Soil, plants, and the human gut are each considered distinct habitats. Within each habitat, specific microbial communities known as habitat specialists are identified. Microbes that are distributed across all habitats are termed here as generalists. Based on their abundance and functions, a group of cross-kingdom microbiota is proposed among the generalist microbes. Created in BioRender. Ma, H. (2025) https://BioRender.com/b51e6if."

New publication: Harnessing the #phyllosphere #microbiota of wild foxtail millet for designing beneficial cross-kingdom synthetic communities, by @vivianecordovez.bsky.social @raaijmakersjm.bsky.social and others. #plantmicrobiome #domesticatedcrops
doi.org/10.1093/isme...
Figure 6 in Zai et al. (2025): "Conceptual framework depicting community assembly of green foxtail phyllosphere affected by environmental factors and plant genetic variation, as well as the plant protection of dominant core taxa against plant pathogen Alternaria alternata in foxtail millet. Environmental factors including soil properties (pH, TP, TK, AP, AK, and ⁠) and climate factors (AR, AS, MAP, and MAT) and plant genetic diversity based on SNP affected the assembly of the phyllosphere microbiome from seven sites. Species sorting and dispersal limitation differently governed bacterial and fungal community assembly. Three bacterial and three yeast genera were identified as core taxa with increased correlation with plant genetic diversity compared to the whole community, which were used in dual culture assay and detached leaf assay. SynComs composed of bacterial isolates (BacSynCom), yeast isolates (YeastSynCom) and both of them (BacYeastSynCom) significantly reduced the lesion area caused by plant pathogen A. alternata. BacSynCom exhibited the strongest protective effect (smallest lesion area) than other two SynComs. Bacillus, members of SynCom, had a strong inhibitory effect via dual culture assay. Back to natural conditions to explore the potential of the wild crop ancestors’ phyllosphere microbiome in enhancing the resilience and fitness of domesticated crop counterpart."

We often measure AM fungal colonisation assuming it tells us something about function. But… what does it tell us?

A short Letter where I ask what root colonisation really means for plant growth, P uptake, and defence.
