Engineered Yarrowia lipolytica inducing gene silencing confers control ability against gray mold in plants

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Engineered the plant‐colonizing yeast Yarrowia lipolytica to produce and deliver double‐stranded RNAs targeting key genes of the gray mold fungus Botrytis cinerea produced a ‘living factory’ that continuously synthesizes and releases gene‐silencing molecules on plant surfaces, effectively suppressing the pathogen.

Giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) gametophytes grow endophytically in red macroalgae: Implications for kelp restoration

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) forests have declined by 95% in Australia since the 1970s due to climate change. Despite expanding restoration efforts, long‐term recovery is still lacking. Factors influencing recruitment by the microscopic gametophyte phase may represent a key mechanism underpinning the successful recovery and restoration of

The role of endophytes to combat abiotic stress in plants

Plant Stress
Climatic changes and global warming produce abiotic stressors that affect plant development and productivity. Abiotic stressors, such as drought, salt, cold, and heat, significantly impair global agricultural crop yields.

Lithochloron, a new genus of green algae residing in coral skeleton (Cladophorales, Chlorophyta)

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Coral skeletons host diverse microbial communities, including endolithic green algae that contribute to holobiont functioning. The siphonous green alga Ostreobium (Bryopsidales) is arguably the best‐known coral endolith, but recent environmental sequencing has indicated that other lineages of green algae may also inhabit the coral skeleton ...

Systemic Deployment of Trichoderma asperellum in Theobroma cacao Regulates Co-occurring Dominant Fungal Endophytes Colonization

, 2018
Endophytic Trichoderma inoculated into roots have been known to colonize above ground tissues of cacao. In this study, we evaluated Trichoderma asperellum spread and impact on endophytic fungi occurring naturally in leaf, stem and root tissues after ...

Insights into plant‐part‐specific N2O production in roots and shoots of chicory (Cichorium intybus) using stable isotope labelling

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Conceptual scheme of the nitrous oxide (N2O) production, consumption, and transport processes across the soil–plant–atmosphere continuum. Summary Nitrous oxide (N2O) contributes substantially to climate change and stratospheric ozone degradation, yet large uncertainties in its global budget point to overlooked sources.

Morphological and molecular identification of fungal endophytes from roots of dendrobium speciosum

, 2008
We have isolated fungal endophytes from roots of dendrobium speciosum, a common epiphytic orchid in southern Queensland rainforests and used morphological criteria and molecular techniques to identify these fungi.
