Article Abstract

The plant microbiome plays a role in pathogen defense, but its role in different resistant varieties and ecological niches remains unclear. This study used 16S rRNA and ITS sequencing to investigate microbial communities and interactions in disease-resistant (PT) and susceptible (Bourbon) coffee varieties of five ecological niches: leaves, fruits, roots, rhizosphere soil, and non-rhizosphere soil. We found that the microbial communities differed significantly between the two varieties. The resistant variety was enriched in beneficial bacteria from the Actinobacteriota phylum and a stable, modular microbial network dominated by saprotrophic fungi. In contrast, the susceptible variety had a higher abundance of opportunistic pathogens and stress-indicator fungi, including spp., which were more prominent in the rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soils. These networks were fragile and dominated by pathotrophic fungi, reflecting ecological imbalance. Our findings show that plant disease resistance is influenced not only by host genetics but also by co-evolutionary interactions with the microbiome. These insights provide a foundation for developing targeted biocontrol strategies to manage plant-associated microbial communities.

Parallel syntheses and their throughput capabilities are powerful tools for the rapid generation of molecule libraries, making them highly beneficial for accelerating hit identification in early-stage drug discovery. Utilizing chemical spaces and virtual libraries enhances time and cost efficiency, enabling the faster exploitation of chemically diverse compounds. In this study, a parallel synthesis method for rapidly generating a 5'-amino-5'-deoxy adenosine-based amide and sulfonamide library of 42 compounds is described with high yields and purity, which is economical and ecological due to the reduced requirements for extensive purification.

Local adaptation of life-history traits in a seasonal environment.

Populations are often spread across a spatially heterogeneous landscape, connected by migration. Consequently, the question arises whether divergent selective forces created by spatial heterogeneity can overcome the homogenising force of migration and loss of diversity through genetic drift to favour different traits across space. The resulting population differentiation due to divergent selection is known as local adaptation.

Dendrobium officinale(DO) is a traditional Chinese medicinal and edible plant, while it is critically endangered worldwide. This article, primarily based on the original research findings of the author's team and available articles, provides a comprehensive overview of the factors contributing to the endangerment of DO and the key technologies for the conservation, efficient cultivation, and value-added utilization of this plant. The scarcity of wild populations, low seed-setting rates, lack of endosperm in seeds, and the need for symbiosis with endophytic fungi for seed germination under natural conditions are identified as the primary causes for the rarity and endangerment of DO.
