Deciphering Role of Endophytes in Plant Defences and Biotic Stress Resilience Across Families
ABSTRACT Plant families generate distinct repertoires of specialised metabolites that govern their biotic interactions. Endophytes strengthen host plant defence mechanisms and tolerance to biotic challenges by upregulating metabolite biosynthesis, modifying precursor compounds into more potent forms, or by directly synthesising analogous defence ...

ABSTRACT Plant‐fungus‐virus tripartite interactions represent complex ecological systems in which mutualistic endophytes can influence host physiology, yet the molecular basis of endophyte‐mediated defence remains poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that the endophytic fungus Penicillium pinophilum EU0013 suppresses the yellow strain of cucumber ...

Trichomes in Plant Defence, Development and Metabolic Integration Under Environmental Stress
ABSTRACT Among various plant defence strategies, trichomes are tiny hair‐like structures on the epidermis that aid in defence, environmental adaptation and the production of valuable secondary metabolites. This review features trichomes as frontline guards for plant survival, integrating their structural, physiological and metabolic roles in ...

ABSTRACT Plants growing in nature are exposed to multiple abiotic and biotic stressors that sometimes occur sequentially. We hypothesised that drought will not compromise the resistance levels to herbivores when plants are associated with Epichloë endophytes able to produce bioactive alkaloids. Lolium perenne plants without (nil) and with Epichloë LpTG‐

Effects of Atmospheric CO2 Levels on the Susceptibility of Maize to Diverse Pathogens
ABSTRACT Rising atmospheric CO2 has significant implications for crop productivity and food security. Based on studies in C3 plants, elevated CO2 (eCO2) can shape plant‐pathogen interactions, although the outcomes are often variable. The question of how eCO2 influences immunity and disease development in C4 plants, such as the globally important cereal
