🌱 Excited to share our new paper in @newphyt.bsky.social!
We show that decomposing #fruits reshape the soil and plant #microbiome. Grateful to the whole team 💚

Fruit function beyond dispersal: effect of fruit decomposition on the plant microbiome assembly
The evolutionary role of fruits has primarily been linked to seed dispersal. However, their influence on the soil and plant microbiomes subsequent to their decomposition has received no attention. W...

New work in @newphyt.bsky.social: fruit isn’t not only for #seed dispersal, it filters and redirects #microbiome assembly in the next plant generation. This should change how we think about inheritance beyond #seeds.

Impact of fruit decomposition on soil and plant microbiomes. (a) Fruits harbor their own microbiome, which is released into the soil upon decomposition. (b) Fruit decomposition changes the soil microbiome by introducing fruit-associated microbes and altering microbial interactions. (c) As seeds germinate, the enriched soil microbiome colonizes the emerging plant, influencing the microbial assembly in roots and shoots. This interplay between fruit decomposition, soil microbial dynamics, and plant colonization suggests that fruits may play an active role in shaping the microbiome of the next plant generation beyond seed dispersal. This figure was created in BioRender (https://BioRender.com/tw7zbn6).

Excited to share my 2nd paper in Environmental Microbiome! "Mosses as extraordinary reservoir of microbial diversity: a comparative analysing of co-occurring ‘plant-moss twins’ in natural alpine ecosystem"

Mosses as extraordinary reservoir of microbial diversity: a comparative analysing of co-occurring ‘plant-moss twins’ in natural alpine ecosystem - Environmental Microbiome
The decline in plant biodiversity is evident at global scale, but little is known about the loss of microbial diversity associated with diverse plant phyla and their influencing factors. This study in...
