Crop rotation and intercropping are important ways to increase agricultural resource
utilization efficiency and crop productivity. Alternate intercropping, or transposition …

Every organism on the earth maintains some kind of interaction with its neighbours. As
plants are sessile, they sense the varied above-ground and below-ground environmental …

Terrestrial plants can affect the growth and health of adjacent plants via interspecific
interaction. Here, we studied the mechanism by which plant root exudates affect the …

Little is known about how sex differences in root zone characteristics, such as contents of
allelochemicals and soil microbial composition, mediate intra‐and intersexual interactions in …

Circadian regulation produces a biological measure of time within cells. The daily cycle in
the availability of light for photosynthesis causes dramatic changes in biochemical …

Chromium (Cr) is a toxic heavy element that interferes with plant metabolite biosynthesis
and modifies the plant rhizosphere microenvironment, affecting plant growth. However, the …

Despite increasing knowledge of plant flowering involved in rhizosphere and soil microbes,
little is known about root-secreted signaling molecules recruiting microbes in general, or on …

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) can improve crop yields, nutrient use
efficiency, plant tolerance to stressors, and confer benefits to future generations of crops …

Plant derived bioactive small molecules have attracted attention of scientists across
fundamental and applied scientific disciplines. We seek to understand the influence of these …

Phytoremediation is an effective means to improve degraded soil nutrients and soil structure.
Here, we investigated the remediation effects of Leymus chinensis on the physicochemical …
