The Role of Two Glycoalkaloid Metabolism Genes in α‐Tomatine Biosynthesis and Basal Defence in Tomato

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
We generated knockout mutants of two tomato genes proposed to be involved in α‐tomatine biosynthesis by genome editing. SlGAME2 mutants contained unaltered α‐tomatine contents; this gene is not involved in its synthesis. SlGAME4 mutants did not accumulate any glycoalkaloids but instead redirected resources towards steroidal saponin synthesis.

Benzoxazinoid‐mediated microbiome feedbacks enhance Arabidopsis growth and defence

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 3334-3348, June 2026.
Summary Plants modulate their surrounding microbiome via root exudates and such conditioned soil microbiomes feed back on the performance of the next generation of plants. How plants perceive altered soil microbiomes and modulate their performance in response to such microbiome feedbacks, however, remains largely unknown.

Mycoparasitism and antagonistic efficiency of Trichoderma reesei against Botrytis spp. [PDF]

, 2008
A preliminary study was made to evaluate the antagonistic effeciency and mycoparasitic activity of Trichoderma reesei against Botrytis species, viz. B. cinerea, B. allii and B. fabae. The bioassay method to evaluate the efficacy of Trichoderma reesei was

An antiviral jacalin‐like lectin gene contributes to nonhost resistance and host determination of potexviruses among Brassicaceae

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 3283-3298, June 2026.
Summary Plant resistance influences the host range of pathogens; however, the mechanism driving this influence remains poorly understood. Brassicaceae species are not natural hosts of potexviruses, for reasons that have not yet been determined. This study investigated the molecular basis of nonhost resistance (NHR) to potexviruses in the Brassicaceae ...

Botrytis cinerea laccase

, 2000
The present invention describes a protein having laccase activity. This protein is derived from Botrytis cinerea, which is a common fungal grapevine pathogen. The protein it was found to convert resveratrol into fungitoxic compounds.

Systemic Delivery of Functional Proteins Into Plants Using an Engineered Membrane Translocation Domain

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 3939-3952, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Protein‐based biopesticides and biostimulants are critical for the future of sustainable agriculture, yet their utility is severely limited by inefficient delivery into plant cells. Traditional cell‐penetrating peptides enable protein uptake but lack the efficiency, systemic activity and scalability required for crop production.
