Biology is designed for multi-semester biology courses for science majors. It is grounded on an evolutionary basis and includes exciting features that highlight careers in the biological sciences and everyday applications of the concepts at hand. To meet the needs of today’s instructors and students, some content has been strategically condensed while maintaining the overall scope and coverage of traditional texts for this course. Instructors can customize the book, adapting it to the approach that works best in their classroom. Biology also includes an innovative art program that incorporates critical thinking and clicker questions to help students understand—and apply—key concepts.

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:
"The plant microbiome plays integral roles in plant growth and health, and the soil environment of the roots, known as the rhizosphere, can recruit beneficial microbes to suppress soil-borne pathogens. However, the processes that regulate microbiome assembly and function both below- and aboveground during pathogen invasion are unclear. To learn more, researchers recently compared the microbiomes of different parts of chili pepper plants with or without Fusarium wilt disease (FWD). Sequencing analysis revealed that FWD affected the root/stem microbiomes (particularly the upper stem microbiome) more than the fruit microbiome. FWD also affected fungal communities more strongly than bacterial communities and made the roots and stems more susceptible to colonization by pathogenic fungi..."
The rest of the transcript, along with a link to the research itself, is available on the resource itself.
