Exposure to xenobiotics triggers genome evolution and horizontal gene transfer (HGT), driving the acquisition of novel catabolic functions. These genomic adaptations provide a competitive fitness adv...

Based on a global analysis of 1921 soil samples, we show that agricultural management acts as a powerful ecological filter reshaping microbial communities. Land use and inputs—pesticides and fertiliz...

Abstract. Plants and bacteria have coevolved over hundreds of millions of years, forming complex associations ranging from mutualism to pathogenicity that

Background Microorganisms play important ecological roles during interactions with plants, with some strains promoting plant performance. However, the molecular basis of bacterial adaptation to the pl...

Soil microbiomes are critical for ecosystem functioning, yet the global influences of climate and agricultural practices on their diversity and structure remain incompletely characterized. Here we ana...
