Putative Phosphatase UvPsr1 Is Required for Mycelial Growth, Conidiation, Stress Response and Pathogenicity in Ustilaginonidea virens

open access: yesRice Science, 2020
Ustilaginoidea virens is the causal agent of rice false smut, which can be a highly destructive disease of rice. The plasma membrane phosphatase Psr1 proteins, which act as a regulator of the salinity stress response in yeast, are widely distributed ...

Silicon and Epichloë‐endophyte defences in a model temperate grass diminish feeding efficiency and immunity of an insect folivore

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 37, Issue 12, Page 3177-3192, December 2023., 2023
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plants deploy diverse anti‐herbivore defences which reduce feeding and performance of herbivores. Temperate grasses use silicon (Si) accumulation and Epichloë‐endophytes for physical and chemical (i.e. endophytic‐alkaloids) defence against insect herbivores.
