Happy new year from northern Michigan.

Nice review! Mutants with altered root development produce distinct exudate profiles, ultimately reshaping their microbial communities. These observations collectively indicate that genetic variation or the genotype of the plant ultimately constrains the metabolic capacity.

Of course I get asked to review a paper during the holidays....

I wish invasive species came with warning labels. This is Birds Foot Trefoil, which I need for research. Unknowing customers might think this species might be a welcome addition in a native garden. But local land managers are at their wits end dealing with this species in restored prairies.
