Plant maternal effects and growth environment, rather than terpenoid chemotype, determine the leaf microbial community of Tanacetum vulgare, but specific terpenoids are correlated with the abundance ...

Background Microbiomes, essential to ecosystem processes, face strong selective forces that can drive rapid evolutionary adaptation. However, our understanding of evolutionary processes within natural...

Uniting life’s seen and unseen realms guides a conceptual advance in research

This study shows that the soil microbial community and herbivory both influence the assembly of the plant-associated microbial communities, but their effects are generated through different mechanisms...
