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

The Fungal Pathogen Fusarium graminearum Can Hydrolyse Tryptamine‐Derived Hydroxy‐Cinnamic Acid Amide Defence Compounds, and Generates Highly Increased Auxin Levels in Wheat via Copper Amine‐Oxidases

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Fusarium graminearum can cleave tryptamine‐derived hydroxycinnamic acid amides and convert the released tryptamine into auxin, suppressing plant defence responses; aoxΔ7—septuple knockout of copper amine oxidases blocks auxin formation. ABSTRACT The important cereal pathogen Fusarium graminearum is not only able to produce trichothecene toxins, like ...

Plant‐Specific PB1 Domain Complex Mediates Poplar Defence and Is Targeted by Rust Fungus Secreted Protein MlpSD1

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
PdRPM1 and PdRPM2 heterodimerize via plant‐specific PB1 domains to trigger ROS burst, jasmonoyl‐isoleucine accumulation and flavan‐3‐ol defences against poplar rust. The rust‐secreted protein MlpSD1 targets PdRPM1, disrupting assembly of this resistance complex and thereby suppressing host immunity.

Co-colonization of an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus and Epichloë endophyte bolsters anti-herbivore defenses in Lolium perenne

Biological Control
The pea aphid (Acyrthosiphon pisum), a significant insect pest characterized by its piercing-sucking feeding pattern, severely impairs plant growth and productivity, leading to substantial economic losses.

Harvested Forages for Horses From a Feeding Perspective—A Systematic Literature Review

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 81, Issue 3, July-September 2026.
ABSTRACT Due to the important role of forages in equine diets, the aim of this project was to perform a systematic literature review of the area with relevance for Northern Europe. The objectives were to identify the currently available published peer‐reviewed literature on forages for horses from an equine feeding perspective and to summarize it to ...

Epichloë fungal endophytes play a fundamental role in New Zealand grasslands

, 2020
Epichloë fungal endophytes that systemically colonise cool-season grasses have become an internationally well-researched symbiosis. While sexual species of Epichloë can cause choke disease of grass seed heads, asexual forms are symptomless endophytes ...

Influence of Epichloë on the Microbiota of Established Lolium perenne Pastures in Aotearoa, New Zealand

Phytobiomes Journal
Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) is a critical species supporting New Zealand's intensive pasture-based agricultural industries. Perennial ryegrass forms a symbiotic, mutualistic association with asexual Epichloë, an endophytic fungus known to ...

Homothallic or Heterothallic? A Genomic Investigation Into the Sexual Capabilities of the Ascomycete Fungus Clonostachys rosea

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 14, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Modes of reproduction and sexual strategies strongly influence the genetic diversity and evolutionary potential of a species. The ascomycete fungus Clonostachys rosea is reported to be homothallic (sexually self‐fertile), although a rapid decay of genome‐wide linkage disequilibrium is also reported, something that is not in line with an ...
