The effect of plant domestication on plant-microbe interactions remains difficult to prove. In this study, we provide evidence a the composition and abundance microbiota. We focused genus Phaseolus, which underwent four independent events within two species (P. vulgaris P. lunatus), providing multiple replicates process spanning thousands years. targeted Phaseolus seeds identify link between domesticated traits bacterial community as have been subject large consistent phenotypic changes...
 Climate change impacts agricultural production globally, affecting food security and economic development at all scales. The Climate Agriculture risk Visualization Assessment (CAVA) framework has been co-designed by the University of Cantabria, Predictia Intelligent Data Solutions Food Organization (FAO) United Nations in response to need for evidence-based climate information formulating adaptation projects (e.g. Green Fund) investment plans agriculture sector. Within...
Abstract Irregular rainfall, rising temperatures and changing frequency intensity of extreme weather events are projected to reduce crop yields threaten food security across the tropical monsoon sub‐region. However, anticipated extent impact on water productivity (CWP) is not yet thoroughly understood. The impacts climate change rice CWP assessed over Northern Tonle Sap Basin in Cambodia by applying AquaCrop model into mid‐ (2041–2070) long‐future (2071–2099) under two Representative...
Bacterial bioluminescence is widely used to study the spatiotemporal dynamics of bacterial populations and gene expression in vivo at a population level but cannot easily be activity individual cells. In this study, we describe development new library mini-Tn7-lux lux::eyfp reporter constructs that provide wide range lux levels, which combine advantages both fluorescent proteins bridge gap between macro- micro-scale imaging techniques. We demonstrate dual bioluminescence-fluorescence...
Agroinfiltration in Nicotiana benthamiana is widely used to transiently express heterologous proteins plants. However, the state of Agrobacterium itself not well studied agroinfiltrated tissues, despite frequent studies immunity genes conducted through agroinfiltration. Here, we generated a bioluminescent strain tumefaciens GV3101 monitor luminescence during By integrating single copy lux operon into genome, stable 'AgroLux' strain, which without affecting growth vitro and planta. To...
Increasing heat-stress conditions, rising evaporative demand and shifting rainfall patterns may have multifaceted impacts on Cambodia's agricultural systems, including vegetable production. Concurrently, domestic supply is highly seasonal inadequate to meet the food demand, which consequently poses risks security locally, particularly in rural areas. This study assesses impact of climate change yields crop water productivity (CWP) tomato, pak choi yard-long bean cultivated year-round under...
RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) play critical roles in post-transcriptional gene regulation and are known to contribute plant immunity. To understand the responses of cellular RBPs an immune elicitor, we applied RNA interactome capture Arabidopsis leaves treated with flg22. Strikingly, flg22 induced a pervasive remodelling RBPome affecting 186 proteins. Flg22-responsive included classical involved metabolism as well non-canonical RBPs. RBP responders detected after 2h treatment enriched putative...
To identify the most effective agricultural transformation and adaptation measures, Food Agriculture Organization (FAO) calls for action to produce robust crop suitability assessments. We developed a novel approach assess inputs outputs of two FAO tools (AEZ AquaCrop). use Nepal as case study, country offering myriad ecoclimatic conditions multiple crops. Our work provides further evidence climate change impacts on rice, maize wheat yields along different agroclimatic zones Nepal, equally...
There is scarce literature on the use of crop models to evaluate climate change impacts plant production in Republic Moldova (RoM), though they are essential agriculture adaptation planning. In conjunction with national institutions, Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) United Nations aims assess effect future yields by relying state-of art (CORDEX-CORE) field observations necessary for validating calibrating AquaCrop model. Here, we investigate apply this framework five crops, namely...
Plants establish a pivotal relationship with their microbiome and are often conceptualized as holobionts. Nonetheless, holobiont theories have attracted much criticism, especially concerning the fact that is rarely unit of selection. In previous work, we discussed how plant can be considered to an ‘ecosystem on leash’, which subject influence natural selection acting traits. We proposed in domesticated plants assembly usefully being ‘double encompasses both effect artificial imposed by...
Increasing heat stress conditions, rising evaporative demand and altered rainfall patterns are likely to have multifaceted impacts on Cambodia’s agricultural systems, including vegetable production. On top of that, domestic supply is highly seasonal insufficient meet the food demand, which consequently poses risks national security. This study assesses impact climate change yields crop water productivity (CWP) tomato, pak choi yard-long bean cultivated year-round under irrigated conditions...
