Monoclonal anti-dsRNA antibody-based metagenomics (MADAM) reveal Pyricularia oryzae mycovirome

This study introduces MADAM (Monoclonal Anti-dsRNA Antibody-Based Metagenomics), a novel approach that integrates multiple technical modules previously used independently in other protocols. MADAM combines monoclonal antibody-mediated double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) enrichment, seque...

Distinguishing plant biophysical stress responses from temporal variability using vis–NIR spectroscopy

Visible–near infrared (Vis—NIR) spectroscopy is widely used for non-destructive plant monitoring; however, in time-series experiments, signals of interest are frequently masked by diurnal rhythms and systematic measurement drift. This limits the ability to clearly detect plant re...

Co-evolution of plants, livestock and farming practices during dairy farm transformation to agroecology: an in-depth case study in France

Agriculture contributes to and is impacted by global changes. Agroecology is recommended as a framework for transforming farming systems to address these challenges. However, research has not extensively documented transformations to agroecology, which could limit adoption by far...

Ecosystem-scale biogenic volatile organic compound fluxes over rapeseed by eddy-covariance

Abstract. Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) are key precursors of ozone and secondary organic aerosols, yet their emissions from croplands remain poorly characterized. Here, we report what is, to our knowledge, the first ecosystem-scale quantification of BVOC fluxes ove...
