Sympatric European white oaks species display contrasting epigenetic response to soil water availability

Abstract In the context of climate change plants have to cope with adverse conditions, among which water scarcity is a major threat for their survival. They have developed diverse regulatory processes to face drought that may differ depending on their ecological niche. The two sy...

Rethinking common gardens for forest tree species in the face of climate change

Abstract Key message Maintaining forest resilience under climate change depends on understanding genetic adaptation and preserving diversity. Long-term common garden networks are essential for revealing how species and populations perform across life stages and environments. When...

Accurate MAG reconstruction from a complex soil microbiome through combined short- and HiFi long-reads metagenomics

Abstract Background Advances in high-fidelity long-read (HiFi-LR) sequencing technologies have opened new opportunities to explore the microbial genomic diversity of complex environments, such as soils. While short-read (SR) sequencing has enabled broad insights at the gene level...
