Rising temperatures change the structure and function of plant microbial communities

Tandem kinase proteins underlie the innate immune systems of cereal plants, but how they initiate plant immune responses remains unclear. This report identifies wheat protein wheat tandem NBD 1 (WTN1)...

A sequential propagation strategy shows how the microbes initially on seeds are key to building complex, reproducible and heritable plant microbiomes.

Comprehensive bacterial and viral genome collections from crop roots uncover a large number of unexplored species and highlight conserved patterns within root microbiomes. Genomes and isolates are accessible at www.cropmicrobiome.com.
