Temperature, water and light are 3 abiotic stress factors that have major influences on plant growth, development and reproduction. Plants can be primed by a prior mild stress to enhance their resistance to future stress. We used an untargeted metabolomics approach to examine Arabidopsis thal...
Combined saline-alkali and cold stresses severely constrain plant growth at middle and high latitudes. Plants have evolved cross-adaptation mechanisms wherein exposure to one stress enhances resistance to another. However, the specific mechanisms driving cross-adaptation between saline-alkali and...
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...
Four species of phytoplankton representing important bloom-forming species from three globally important phyla (Bacillariophyta, Haptophyta, and Ochrophyte) were cultured in this study. These species include the cosmopolitan diatom Chaetoceros affinis CCMP159 (isolated from Great South B...
