Comparative single-nucleus RNA-seq analysis revealed localized and cell type-specific pathways governing root-microbiome interactions - Nature Communications Plant roots are exposed to a diverse range of soil-dwelling microbial “friends” and “foes.” Here, via single-nucleus RNA-seq, the authors reveal cell type-specific responses to beneficial and pathogen...

Yi continues on their single-nucleus RNA-seq approach to reveal localized and cell type-specific pathways in plant during root-microbiome interaction

GWAS, MWAS and mGWAS provide insights into precision agriculture based on genotype-dependent microbial effects in foxtail millet - Nature Communications Plant genotype alone appears to be insufficient to explain trait variations. This study integrates GWAS, MWAS and mGWAS in 827 foxtail millet cultivars, revealing that root-associated microbiota affec...
