Salt is an important abiotic stress that affects plant growth. Research has shown that plants can recruit beneficial microorganisms from the surrounding soil. However, the ecological functions of the rhizosphere microbiome in salt tolerant plants have not been explored to a large extent. Based on this, this study took...

Nitrogen (N) deposition and water availability profoundly influence arid ecosystem functions; however, how different N input methods (canopy vs. soil) to shape plant–microbe–metabolite interactions remains poorly understood under drought. Integrating metagenomic and root metabolomic approaches, we conducted a pot exp...

While carbon dots (CDs) are promising green nanomaterials for sustainable agriculture, how they regulate cotton growth via physiological and metabolic reprogramming remains poorly understood. This study evaluated foliar CD application (0–200 mg·L−1) to uncover dose–response patterns and metabolic drivers. CDs exerted a...
