Broad-scale phenotyping in Arabidopsis reveals varied involvement of RNA interference across diverse plant-microbe interactions

The paper investigates the role of RNA interference in Arabidopsis by analyzing AGO and DCL mutants against various pathogens and a mutualist, revealing both positive and neutral effects on immunity and colonization.

Mechanisms of extracellular electron transfer in anaerobic methanotrophic archaea

This study investigates the extracellular electron transfer mechanism in ANME-2d archaea using bioelectrochemical systems, metagenomics, and metatranscriptomics, identifying a unique pathway involving OmcZ nanowires.

Rhizoctonia solani disease suppression: addition of keratin-rich soil amendment leads to functional shifts in soil microbial communities

This study shows that adding keratin-rich soil amendments increases disease suppression against Rhizoctonia solani by altering microbial community composition and function in sugar beet soils.
