The next step in the nitrogen cycle is the assimilation of inorganic nitrogen, into organic nitrogen-containing compounds. It is the process by which plants and animals incorporate the NO3–and ammonia formed through nitrogen fixation and nitrification. All organisms assimilate ammonia via two main re...
defending against pathogens in the microenvironment. In addition, host-microbe and microbe-microbe interactions can also simultaneously produce synergistic effects to maintain microbial homeostasis in plant roots, such as Arabidopsis root bacterial microbial communities and plant metabolite tryptophan jointly con...
Plants sustain intimate relationships with diverse microbes. It is well-recognized that these plant-associated microbiota shape individual performance and fitness of host plants, but much remains to be explored regarding how they exert their function and

Microbiomes are important for crop performance. However, a deeper knowledge of crop-associated microbial communities is needed to harness beneficial host-microbe interactions. Here, by assessing the assembly and functions of maize microbiomes across soil

By combining a field investigation of multi-omics (rhizosphere metabolome analysis and peanut root amplicon sequencing) with a molecular-level analysis of laboratory plant-microbe systems, we showed that crop diversification, specifically intercropping with maize, induces a ...
