Coordinated stress response in E. mutabilis involving early Cd uptake, chloroplast-based detoxification, metabolic buffering via paramylon, suppression of growth-promoting hormones, and community-mediated resilience.
Background
Soil salinization and alkalization severely threaten soybean growth and yield. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), specifically Rhizophagus intraradices (Ri), enhance stress tolerance and soil quality, yet their mechanisms in regulating microbial-metabolite interactions during cr...
Carbonate-type saline-alkaline stress severely constrains maize production; however, the synergistic response mechanisms between rhizosphere microorganisms and metabolites remain unclear. This study focused on maize fields in the carbonate chernozem region of the Songnen Plain in Northeast China....
Candida albicans, a World Health Organization critical-priority fungal pathogen, represents the predominant cause of candidemia. Therapeutic failure is sometimes driven by antifungal tolerance, a phenotype distinct from resistance, whose underlying mechanisms remain incompletely defined....
