The plant microbiome: From ecological foundations to precision microbial engineering for sustainable agriculture

iMeta, Volume 5, Issue 4, August 2026.
From ecological principles to precision engineering of plant microbiomes for sustainable agriculture. The plant holobiont integrates diverse microbial niches (including rhizosphere, endosphere, phyllosphere, seed, and aerial‐root mucilagesphere), host genetics (namely M genes), and host metabolites. Furthermore, molecular dialogues, including rhizobial

CNGCs in Marchantia paleacea uncouple arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis and rhizoid development

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 2027-2040, August 2026.
Rhizoid growth and AM fungal infection are uncoupled. Summary In Marchantia paleacea, MpaDMI1‐dependent nuclear Ca2+ oscillations are essential for arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal colonisation, indicating that endosymbiosis‐mediated nuclear Ca2+ signalling is a conserved feature of land plant–AM symbiosis.

Enzymatic Modification of Native Chitin and Conversion to Specialty Chemical Products

Marine Drugs, 2020
Chitin is one of the most abundant biomolecules on earth, occurring in crustacean shells and cell walls of fungi. While the polysaccharide is threatening to pollute coastal ecosystems in the form of accumulating shell-waste, it has the potential to be ...

Current Perspectives on Chitinolytic Enzymes and Their Agro-Industrial Applications

Biology, 2021
Chitinases are a large and diversified category of enzymes that break down chitin, the world’s second most prevalent polymer after cellulose. GH18 is the most studied family of chitinases, even though chitinolytic enzymes come from a variety of glycosyl ...

Silver nanoparticles incorporated with enzymatically derived chitooligosaccharides: preparation, characterization, and biological potential evaluation

Frontiers in Food Science and Technology
In this work, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were elaborated using a simple, low-cost, and reproducible method by thermal treatment at 90°C of chitooligosaccharides (COSs), produced by chitosan depolymerization using the digestives chitosanases from ...
