1. Classical plant functional traits, often limited by intercorrelation and incomplete capture of dynamic variation, are insufficient for fully predicting ecological responses to environmental change. Quantifying independent functional dimensions, particularly those reflecting molecular and bioch...
Background
Antibiotic treatment has a well-established detrimental effect on the gut bacterial composition, but effects on the fungal community are less clear. Bacteria in the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract may limit fungal colonization and invasion. Antibiotic drugs t...
By establishing a model of enteritis in mice infected with Salmonella Typhimurium, this study investigates the effects of ion concentration in drinking water on intestinal metabolites and microbiota structure in mice, as well as its influence on pathogen susceptibility and the host-patho...
Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) storage roots exhibit significant variation in starch content among cultivars, yet the metabolic and molecular mechanisms governing carbon allocation between storage and structural components remain poorly understood. Here, we investigated carbon partitioning in...
