Experimental field trials model how the climate crisis will alter phyllosphere and carposphere fungal communities of <i>Vitis</i> sp. L’Acadie blanc across growth stages Open
The climate crisis is changing temperature regimes worldwide, threatening global viticulture and wine production, as temperature is a primary driver of grape development. In Atlantic Canada, temperatures are projected to increase, inducing…
Untargeted metabolomics reveals anion and organ‐specific metabolic responses of salinity tolerance in willow Open
SUMMARY Willows can alleviate soil salinisation while generating sustainable feedstock for biorefinery, yet the metabolomic adaptations underlying their tolerance remain poorly understood. Salix miyabeana was treated with two environmental…

Arsenic stress triggers active exudation of arsenic–phytochelatin complexes from <i>Lupinus albus</i> roots Open
Arsenic (As) contamination of soils threatens the health of millions globally through accumulation in crops. While plants detoxify As via phytochelatin (PC) complexation and efflux of arsenite from roots, arsenite efflux mechanisms are not…
Site properties, environmental factors, and crop identify influence soil bacterial communities more than municipal biosolid application Open
Reducing the environmental impact of Canadian field crop agriculture, including the reliance on conventional synthesised fertilisers, are key societal targets for establishing long-term sustainable practices. Municipal biosolids (MSB) are …
Sustainability analysis of primary wastewater treatment by willow plantations in Québec Open
Wastewater treatment is a necessary step to avoid environmental impacts of water consumption and usage. Traditional approaches are expensive and are limited to developed countries. Phytofiltration using fast-growing trees and shrubs like w…
Fertilisation of agricultural soils with municipal biosolids: Part 1- Glyphosate and aminomethylphosphonic acid inputs to Québec field crop soils Open
Municipal biosolids (MBS) are suggested to be abundant, sustainable, inexpensive fertilisers, rich in phosphorus and nitrogen. However, MBS can also contain glyphosate and phosphonates that can degrade to AMPA. Glyphosate-based herbicides …
Fertilisation of agricultural soils with municipal biosoilds: Part 2- Site properties, environmental factors, and crop identify influence soil bacterial communities more than municipal biosolid application Open
Reducing the environmental impact of Canadian field crop agriculture, including the reliance on conventional synthesised fertilisers, are key societal targets for establishing long-term sustainable practices. Municipal biosolids (MSB) are …
Dynamics of bacterial and archaeal communities during horse bedding and green waste composting Open
Organic waste decomposition can make up substantial amounts of municipal greenhouse emissions during decomposition. Composting has the potential to reduce these emissions as well as generate sustainable fertilizer. However, our understandi…
Glyphosate has a negligible impact on bacterial diversity and dynamics during composting Open
The herbicide glyphosate has several potential entry points into composting sites and its impact on composting processes has not yet been evaluated. To assess its impact on bacterial diversity and abundance as well as on community composit…
Irrigation with primary wastewater alters wood anatomy and composition in willow Salix miyabeana SX67 Open
Traditional treatment of wastewaters is a burden for local governments. Using short rotation coppice willow (SRCW) as vegetal filter has several environmental and economic benefits. Here, we investigated the effect of primary wastewater ir…
Treatment of Landfill Leachate by Short-Rotation Willow Coppice Plantations in a Large-Scale Experiment in Eastern Canada Open
The treatment of leachate by vegetative filters composed of short-rotation willow coppice (SRWC) has been shown to be a cost-effective alternative to conventional and costly methods. However, few studies have considered the treatment capab…
Willow and Herbaceous Species’ Phytoremediation Potential in Zn-Contaminated Farm Field Soil in Eastern Québec, Canada: A Greenhouse Feasibility Study Open
Phytoremediation shows great promise as a plant-based alternative to conventional clean-up methods that are prohibitively expensive. As part of an integrated strategy, the selection of well-adapted plant species as well as planting and man…
Different Temperature and UV Patterns Modulate Berry Maturation and Volatile Compounds Accumulation in Vitis sp. Open
Volatile compounds (VCs) in grapevine berries play an important role in wine quality; however, such compounds and vine development can be sensitive to environmental conditions. Due to this sensitivity, changes in temperature patterns due t…
Biorefinery potential of sustainable municipal wastewater treatment using fast-growing willow Open
The use of willow plantations can be a sustainable approach for treating primary municipal wastewater, potentially reducing both the environmental and economic burdens associated with conventional treatment. However, the impact of wastewat…
ePlant in 2021: New Species, Viewers, Data Sets, and Widgets Open
ePlant was introduced in 2017 for exploring large Arabidopsis thaliana data sets from the kilometre to nanometre scales. In the past four years we have used the ePlant framework to develop ePlants for 15 agronomically-important species: ma…
Phytochemical adaptions of Fast-growing Willow to Field-scale Municipal Wastewater Irrigation Open
Treatment of municipal wastewater has a high economic and environmental burden to communities around the world. Fast-growing Salix miyabeana (willow) trees can potentially be used to environmentally treat high volumes of primary municipal …
Ectomycorrhizal Fungal Inoculation of Sphaerosporella brunnea Significantly Increased Stem Biomass of Salix miyabeana and Decreased Lead, Tin, and Zinc, Soil Concentrations during the Phytoremediation of an Industrial Landfill Open
Fast growing, high biomass willows (Salix sp.) have been extensively used for the phytoremediation of trace element-contaminated environments, as they have an extensive root system and they tolerate abiotic stressors such as drought and me…
Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungal Assemblages Significantly Shifted upon Bacterial Inoculation in Non-Contaminated and Petroleum-Contaminated Environments Open
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have been shown to reduce plant stress and improve their health and growth, making them important components of the plant-root associated microbiome, especially in stressful conditions such as petroleum h…
Plant Identity Shaped Rhizospheric Microbial Communities More Strongly Than Bacterial Bioaugmentation in Petroleum Hydrocarbon-Polluted Sediments Open
Manipulating the plant-root microbiota has the potential to reduce plant stress and promote their growth and production in harsh conditions. Community composition and activity of plant-roots microbiota can be either beneficial or deleterio…
ANCHOR: a 16S rRNA gene amplicon pipeline for microbial analysis of multiple environmental samples Open
Summary Analysis of 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene amplification data for microbial barcoding can be inaccurate across complex environmental samples. A method, ANCHOR, is presented and designed for improved species‐level microbial identific…
The Response of a 16S Ribosomal RNA Gene Fragment Amplified Community to Lead, Zinc, and Copper Pollution in a Shanghai Field Trial Open
