SUMMARYUnderstanding protein functions is crucial for interpreting microbial life; however, reliable function annotation remains a major challenge in computational biology. Despite significant advance...

Soil and plant microbiomes significantly impact plant nutrient acquisition. Singh and colleagues review field-related progress and propose a modified eco-evolutionary framework that considers plant and microbial communication mechanisms, with the goal of advancing the field and developing biological tools to improve plant nutrient uptake and support food security and environmental sustainability.

The ability of bacteria to adapt to changing environmental conditions largely depends on transmembrane receptors that sense signal molecules and generate responses such as chemotaxis, changes in gene ...

Advantages of phage therapy as a sustainable alternative in agriculture.
