Wheat is a major staple crop grown across the globe. Fusarium crown rot (FCR) of wheat, caused by Fusarium pseudograminearum, is a destructive soil-borne disease that lacks effective sustainable control measures. Here, we assembled a cross-kingdom synthetic microbial community (SMC) comprising Tr...
Background: The gut microbiota is a key hallmark of tumor and plays a central role in colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the contribution of gut fungi, an important community of gut microbes, remains substantially understudied in CRC.
Objective: To characterize the gut fungal landscape in CR...
A cross-kingdom synthetic community (SSC) derived from wild soybean rhizosphere soil was constructed and inoculated onto cultivated soybeans suffering from continuous cropping obstacles. Root exudates from cultivated soybeans were collected before and after inoculation with the SSC via a hydropon...
Functional stem cell-derived heart models offer new avenues for preclinical, animal-free physiological assessment of drug cardiotoxicity. Yet, comprehensive molecular profiling in these models remains limited, leaving key metabolic drivers of cardiotoxicity unexplored.
Here, we leveraged an...
Background
Wheat crown rot (WCR) caused by Fusarium spp. lacks durable, sustainable control. Engineering the rhizosphere with defined synthetic microbial communities (SynComs) offers a route to combined disease suppression and growth promotion. We aimed to build a cross-kingdom SynCom and e...
