  • A comparison of alpha diversity (number of plant species) and dark diversity (species that are currently absent from a site despite being ecologically suitable) demonstrates the negative effects of regional-scale anthropogenic activity on plant diversity.

  • Invasive Spartina grasses accumulate high levels of intracellular dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP). Here, the authors report the isolation and characterization of the genes involved in DMSP biosynthesis and show that administration of DMSP by root uptake or overexpression of the DMSP biosynthesis genes results in salinity and drought tolerance in Arabidopsis.

  • Examining drivers of the latitudinal biodiversity gradient in a global database of local tree species richness, the authors show that co-limitation by multiple environmental and anthropogenic factors causes steeper increases in richness with latitude in tropical versus temperate and boreal zones.

  • InsP3 3-kinase phosphorylates 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) specifically at its secondary 3-hydroxyl group to generate a tetrakisphosphate. Here, the authors used a combination of methods to survey InsP3 3-kinase ligand specificity and determined that IP3K specificity surpasses that of its natural substrate, allowing it to bind diverse ligands with a primary hydroxyl in the reactive position and based on a carbohydrate moiety.

  • As phase 1 of the Earth Microbiome Project, analysis of 16S ribosomal RNA sequences from more than 27,000 environmental samples delivers a global picture of the basic structure and drivers of microbial distribution.

  • Bacterial dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) production was recently demonstrated in surface oceans. Here the authors show that bacterial production is higher in sediment from coastal areas and the deep ocean, and identify an alternative pathway for its synthesis, indicating that coastal and marine sediments are important sources of this climate-relevant metabolite.
