Relative importance of competition and plant–soil feedback, their synergy, context dependency and implications for coexistence
Ylva Lekberg,James D. Bever,Rebecca A. Bunn,Ragan M. Callaway,Miranda M. Hart,Stephanie N. Kivlin,John N. Klironomos,Beau Larkin,John L. Maron,Kurt O. Reinhart,Michael J. Remke,Wim H. van der Putten +11 more
TL;DR: It is shown that effects of interspecific competition and plant-soil feedback depended on treatments but were predominantly negative, broadly comparable in magnitude, and additive or synergistic, and PSF could prevent competitive dominance and promote coexistence.

More bang for the buck? Can arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities be characterized adequately alongside other fungi using general fungal primers?
Ylva Lekberg,Martti Vasar,Lorinda Bullington,Siim-Kaarel Sepp,Pedro M. Antunes,Rebecca A. Bunn,Beau Larkin,Maarja Öpik +7 more
TL;DR: With the exponential increase in sequencing output with high throughput sequencing, AMF sequences are now detected and discussed in studies using general fungal primers that target all soil fungi, and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region is the universal barcode for fungi.

Foliar nutrients shape fungal endophyte communities in Western white pine (Pinus monticola) with implications for white-tailed deer herbivory
TL;DR: Investigation of differences between foliar endophyte communities in disease-resistant hybrid and wild-type Pinus monticola trees with observed variation in tree growth, vigor, and browsing damage by white-tailed deer indicates that foliar nutrient variation influences endophytes community assembly and deer herbivory in P. montiola.

Using direct amplification and next-generation sequencing technology to explore foliar endophyte communities in experimentally inoculated western white pines.
Lorinda Bullington,Beau Larkin +1 more
TL;DR: Early endophyte community assemblage in Pinus monticola is explored and it is shown that fungal inoculations may influence tree growth and negative co-occurrence patterns between inoculated fungi and potential pathogens suggest early competitive interactions.

Insufficient sampling constrains our characterization of plant microbiomes.
TL;DR: In this article, root and leaf tissue from showy milkweed (Asclepias speciosa) was compared with homogenizing after subsampling (30mg) and homogenising bulk tissue before subsampled (30μg).
