Project description:These data provide a basis for exploration of gene expression differences between physiologically diverse accessions of Arabidopsis thaliana. Recent studies have documented remarkable genetic variation among Arabidopsis thaliana accessions collected from diverse habitats and across its geographical range. Of particular interest are accessions with putatively locally adapted phenotypes – i.e., accessions with attributes that are likely adaptive under the climatic or habitat conditions of their sites of origin. These genotypes are especially valuable as they may provide insight into the genetic basis of adaptive evolution as well as allow the discovery of genes of ecological importance. Therefore we studied the physiology, genome content and gene expression of 18 physiologically diverse accessions. The gene expression studies were conducted under two levels of soil moisture and accompanied by physiological measurements to characterize early responses to soil moisture deficit.
Project description:Metagenome data from soil samples were collected at 0 to 10cm deep from 2 avocado orchards in Channybearup, Western Australia, in 2024. Amplicon sequence variant (ASV) tables were constructed based on the DADA2 pipeline with default parameters.
Project description:These data provide a basis for exploration of gene expression differences between physiologically diverse accessions of Arabidopsis thaliana. Recent studies have documented remarkable genetic variation among Arabidopsis thaliana accessions collected from diverse habitats and across its geographical range. Of particular interest are accessions with putatively locally adapted phenotypes M-bM-^@M-^S i.e., accessions with attributes that are likely adaptive under the climatic or habitat conditions of their sites of origin. These genotypes are especially valuable as they may provide insight into the genetic basis of adaptive evolution as well as allow the discovery of genes of ecological importance. Therefore we studied the physiology, genome content and gene expression of 18 physiologically diverse accessions. The gene expression studies were conducted under two levels of soil moisture and accompanied by physiological measurements to characterize early responses to soil moisture deficit. The basic experimental design involves 18 accessions crossed with two environmental levels (well-watered soil and mild soil drying) and 3 biological replicates per accession/treatment combination.

Project description:<p>Forest management in giant panda habitats necessitates strategies that simultaneously support biodiversity and ecosystem carbon sequestration. Here, we demonstrate that protecting understory vegetation is indispensable for sustaining the soil carbon sink in restored subalpine coniferous plantations. Through a field experiment comparing natural forest with unthinned and thinned plantations (with or without understory removal), we uncovered a critical microbial mechanism. Understory removal triggered a detrimental cascade by elevating soil pH and shifting the carbon pool from labile to recalcitrant dominance. This environmental shift imposed a strong deterministic filter (Normalized stochasticity ratio, NST = 39.8%) on the microbial community, displacing pH-sensitive, labile carbon-dependent taxa (e.g., Gaiella) while enriching oligotrophs adept at recalcitrant carbon degradation (e.g., Ktedonobacter, Streptomyces). Community restructuring drove a functional metamorphosis: it reduced antibiotic synthesis and, under the dual stress of high pH and carbon quality decline, induced a novel RNA modification response (via N4-acetylcytidine accumulation) that enhanced the synthesis of recalcitrant carbon-degrading enzymes. Crucially, these adaptations precipitated a significant decline in microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE), shifting the soil carbon cycle from an accumulation to an inefficient consumption phase. Our findings provide a mechanistic basis for using understory vegetation as a primary tool to align giant panda habitat conservation with climate-smart forestry goals.</p>
