Can plants adapt quickly enough to keep up with climate change?

/in /by

In a new article by Wu et al., a large team of collaborators led by the Moi lab addressed this question by doing a huge outdoor evolution experiment at 30 places with different climates. The authors achieved real-time adaptation under natural conditions by sowing a mixture of 231 Arabidopsis thaliana accessions and tracking genomic changes over […]

Host transcriptional regulation shapes microbiome-mediated nitrogen uptake

/in /by

Nitrogen is a key nutrient for plant development, and plant nutrient acquisition is highly influenced by the rhizosphere microbiome. However, how host genomic variation and root transcriptional regulation shape microbiome assembly under field conditions remains unclear. Li and colleagues addressed this important question through a large-scale multi-omics study across 175 Brassica napus accessions. The authors […]
