A research team led by Prof. CHEN Qing-Lin from the Institute of Urban Environment (IUE), Chinese Academy of Sciences, has found that drought-induced changes in wheat metabolites selectively enrich drought-tolerant bacteria (DTB) in the rhizosphere，which promote plant growth and enhance drought resilience through key functional traits. The findings were published in Nature Food.Drought is one of the most severe abiotic stresses threatening global agriculture, with its frequency and intensity...

Aerosols are critical vehicles for airborne pathogen transmission between the environment and humans. Timely and accurate detection of airborne pathogens is essential to contain infectious disease outbreaks at their source and to reduce nosocomial infection rates. Traditional pathogen detection methods often suffer from slow detection speeds, low sensitivity, and complicated procedures. Single-cell Raman spectroscopy, which can characterize the phenotypic features of microorganisms and offers...
