Review: Resolving metabolic interaction mechanisms in plant microbiomes
Plant Science Research WeeklyLife is spurred forward by the power of metabolic interactions. Within the plant microbiome, microbial communities use diverse mechanisms to thrive, survive, and multiply. In this review, Pacheco & Vorholt describe the interplay of metabolic interactions within plant microbiomes and review current…
Review: Why don't genetically identical seeds germinate at the same time?
Plant Science Research WeeklyIf you've ever conducted a germination experiment, you've probably asked yourself: what causes seeds to germinate at different times? The most obvious answer would be to point to genetic differences, but this phenomenon also occurs in genetically identical seeds. In this exciting paper, Sharma and Majee…
Review: The role of ethylene in plant temperature stress response
Plant Science Research WeeklyThe phytohormone ethylene is known for its importance in plant development and mostly for its role in fruit ripening. However, in this review Huang et al. summarize recent findings on ethylene’s role in temperature (hot and cold) stress response and ethylene crosstalk with other hormones. Interestingly,…
SSR markers are useful tools in wheat varietal purity and genetic diversity assessment
Plant Science Research WeeklyDifferent breeding programs worldwide have developed various cultivars that can cope with changing and increasingly unpredictable environments while meeting market needs. These developments have brought a new challenge: creating tools to distinguish such varieties and trace their genetic purity. Using…
