Like all higher organisms, plants have evolved in the context of a microbial world, shaping
both their evolution and their contemporary ecology. Interactions between plant roots and soil …

Plant health in natural environments depends on interactions with complex and dynamic
communities comprising macro- and microorganisms. While many studies have provided …

The ability to link soil microbial diversity to soil processes requires technologies that
differentiate active microbes from extracellular DNA and dormant cells. Here, we use BONCAT (…

The potential of the diverse chemistries present in natural products (NP) for biotechnology
and medicine remains untapped because NP databases are not searchable with raw data …

The ability of mass spectrometry to generate intact biomolecular ions efficiently in the gas
phase has led to its widespread application in metabolomics 1 , proteomics 2 , biological …

The ecological forces that govern the assembly and stability of the human gut microbiota
remain unresolved. We developed a generalizable model‐guided framework to predict higher‐…

The coffee berry borer (Hypothenemus hampei) is the most devastating insect pest of coffee
worldwide with its infestations decreasing crop yield by up to 80%. Caffeine is an alkaloid …

Root exudates are plant-derived, exported metabolites likely shaping root-associated
microbiomes by acting as nutrients and signals. However, root exudation dynamics are unclear …

Metabolomics is the comprehensive profiling of the small molecule composition of a
biological sample. Since metabolites are often the indirect products of gene expression, this …

N6-methyldeoxyadenine (6mA) is a noncanonical DNA base modification present at low levels
in plant and animal genomes 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , but its prevalence and association with genome …
