Despite remarkable progress in understanding Aluminium resistance in plants, it is still unknown whether and how the soil microbiota confers Al resistance to crops. Here we found that a synthetic community composed of highly Al-resistant bacterial strains isolated from the rice rhizosphere in...Soil acidity with a pH below 5.5 poses a major challenge to global agriculture, affecting approximately 50% of arable land. Al toxicity in acidic soils hampers root growth and nutrient uptake, leading to reduced crop yield and quality. Despite substantial advances in understanding Al resistan...
The sustainability of life on Earth is under increasing threat due to human-induced climate change. This perilous change in the Earth's climate is caused by increases in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, primarily due to emissions associated with burning fossil fuels.

Managing above-ground plant carbon inputs can pave the way toward carbon neutrality and mitigating climate change. Chemical complexity of plant residues largely controls carbon sequestration.Fig: The co-occurrence networks of bacterial and fungal communities in straw residues during different periods of decomposition.

Agricultural food production is a main driver of global greenhouse gas emissions, with unclear pathways towards carbon neutrality. Fig. The IPEG–CH4–N system can help staple food production achieve carbon neutrality Staple food production is an important source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, due to high methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from flooded paddy fields and intensive use of nitrogen fertili...
