The study examines how climate gradients affect Populus trichocarpa stress responses and microbial communities across different soil niches.

This study examines switchgrass root cell wall composition and anatomy across depth, finding depth-related variations that could inform strategies for improving root traits.

This study shows that altering ethylene levels in poplars affects their metabolome and microbial communities in a microbial-dependent manner.

The paper transfers a catabolic pathway for salicyl alcohol in Pseudomonas soil isolates, showing it enables rapid catabolism but does not confer a fitness advantage in rhizosphere competition.

This study tracks how microbial colonization alters root exudates and plant metabolomes in poplar cuttings over 30 days, revealing distinct metabolic responses in roots and shoots.

This paper develops a high-yielding cell-free gene expression system from Clostridium autoethanogenum to enable in vitro prototyping of genetic parts and metabolic pathways.
