Lettuce seedlings rapidly assemble their microbiome from the environment through deterministic processes

This study shows that lettuce seedlings rapidly assemble their microbiome from the environment through deterministic processes, selecting microorganisms within a week.

Plant genotype influence the structure of cereal seed fungal microbiome

The paper investigates how plant genotype affects the structure of fungal microbiomes in cereal seeds across species and cultivars, finding that genetic variation influences microbial community composition.

Soil microbial diversity impacts plant microbiomes more than herbivory

The paper quantifies how soil microbial diversity affects plant and herbivore-associated microbiomes more than plant species or herbivory.

Impact of Bactrocera oleae on the fungal microbiota of ripe olive drupes.

This study examines how olive fruit fly infestation affects the fungal microbiota of olive drupes, finding reduced diversity and altered community balance, but no significant impact on dominant taxa.
