Article Abstract

Mutualistic interactions between plants and microbiomes are vital for plant growth and resilience. However, traditional breeding has undermined these interactions. Here, we explore the Grime's triangle from a microbiome perspective and discuss how traits from stress-tolerant species can aid in identifying cultivars with enhanced microbiome interactions.

The Earth Hologenome Initiative: Data Release 1.

Gigascience

January 2025

Center for Evolutionary Hologenomics, Globe Institute, University of Copenhagen, 1350 Copenhagen, Denmark.

Background: The Earth Hologenome Initiative (EHI) is a global endeavor dedicated to revisit fundamental ecological and evolutionary questions from the systemic host-microbiota perspective, through the standardized generation and analysis of joint animal genomic and associated microbial metagenomic data.

Results: The first data release of the EHI contains 968 shotgun DNA sequencing read files containing 5.2 TB of raw genomic and metagenomic data derived from 21 vertebrate species sampled across 12 countries, as well as 17,666 metagenome-assembled genomes reconstructed from these data.

Low back pain is a pervasive global public health problem. As with other chronic non-communicable diseases, dietary intervention can improve clinical outcomes and reduce health care costs. Pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic treatments are included in non-invasive treatment clinical practice guidelines.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a clinicopathological syndrome characterised by hepatic steatosis in the absence of significant alcohol consumption or other specific causes of liver injury. It has become one of the leading causes of liver dysfunction worldwide. However, the precise pathophysiological mechanisms underlying NAFLD remain unclear, and effective therapeutic strategies are still under investigation.

Background: Perimenopausal women often experience physiological and psychological decline due to the effects of oestrogen fluctuations and the decline of ovarian function, leading to significantly increased depression rates, decreases in the quality of life and mental health issues. Studies have shown that the gut microbiota exerts anti-perimenopausal depression (PMD) effects via the microbiota-gut-brain (MGB) axis, the mechanisms of which may be related to inflammation. In this review, we discuss the effects and mechanisms of gut microbiota in PMD and provide new insights for future PMD treatment.
