… as safe sites for grass seedling establishment (Miller, 1987a). The mechanism appears to
be associated with an increase in soil moisture (RM Miller, unpublished data) and a potential …

The genome of the japonica subspecies of rice, an important cereal and model monocot,
was sequenced and assembled by whole-genome shotgun sequencing. The assembled …

… These compounds resist biodegradation at least in part because of limited transport into
cells, as demonstrated by Miller and Bartha (16) in a study of alkane biodegradation. This work …

Parkinson’s disease affects 5 million people worldwide, but the molecular mechanisms
underlying its pathogenesis are still unclear. Here, we report a genome-wide meta-analysis of …

Symbioses may be important mechanisms of plant adaptation to their environment. We
conducted a reciprocal inoculation experiment to test the hypothesis that soil fertility is a key …

In the hierarchical model of soil aggregate formation proposed by Tisdall and Oades (1982),
a major mechanism involved in the binding of microaggregates into macroaggregates is …

A better understanding of the soil aggregation process is needed to address a variety of
concerns, including soil quality and erosion, agricultural sustainability, soil C sequestration, the …

A series of closely related processes is presented, by which arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi
contribute to the formation of relatively stable aggregate structures. Fibrous roots and AM …

A major factor controlling soil organic matter dynamics is believed to be the differing degrees
of protection from decomposition afforded by the spatially hierarchical organization of soil …

This chapter examines the relationship between the function of various organomineral
associations as aggregate binding agents and carbon (C) sequestration in soils. It analyses soils …
