Long term deleterious effects of drought memory
buff.ly/0sNZeWs
A 5-year long experiment, super impressive! I wonder whether the offspring of the final generation would have retained the performance difference, esp. after controlling for seed size/maternal investment.

"Root and shoot microbiomes are very distinct" is one of the most consistent patterns we see. But this timely article makes a well-supported argument that aboveground and belowground microbiomes of a single plant are definitely not independent!
