From trade-off to synergy: microbial insights into enhancing plant growth and immunity. [PDF]
Plant Biotechnol JSummary The reduction in crop yield caused by pathogens and pests presents a significant challenge to global food security. Genetic engineering, which aims to bolster plant defence mechanisms, emerges as a cost‐effective solution for disease control. However, this approach often incurs a growth penalty, known as the growth‐defence trade‐off.

Entomopathogenic Fungi as Mortality Agents in Insect Populations: A Review. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe provide a quantitative review of studies reporting mortality attributable to entomopathogenic fungi in field populations of insects. Overall, data on this subject are surprisingly limited. Nevertheless, they support the conclusion that the assemblages of pathogenic fungi associated with insect populations are diverse but the prevalence mostly ...

Powdery mildew in Southeast Asia: host range, impact, and sources of resistance
Technology in Agronomy, 2023 Powdery mildews are important obligate biotrophic ectoparasites that cause severe damage to various plant species in Southeast Asia. So far, 14 genera and 96 species of powdery mildew have been reported in Southeast Asia, with Thailand having the most ...

First report of Erysiphe corylacearum on Corylus avellana in Poland
Acta Mycologica, 2023 Corylus avellana (common hazel) is an economically important plant worldwide, including Poland, especially for its fruits, i.e., hazelnuts. In addition to the hitherto commonly occurring fungal species Phyllactinia guttata , another species, i.e ...

Two pathogen loci determine Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici virulence to wheat resistance gene Pm1a
New Phytologist, Volume 238, Issue 4, Page 1546-1561, May 2023., 2023 Summary Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt) is a globally important fungal pathogen of wheat that can rapidly evolve to defeat wheat powdery mildew (Pm) resistance genes. Despite periodic regional deployment of the Pm1a resistance gene in US wheat production, Bgt strains that overcome Pm1a have been notably nonpersistent in the United States, while ...

Small Science, Volume 3, Issue 3, March 2023., 2023 Wax morphology, wax chemistry, and leaf wettability are analyzed on three different wheat varieties. In addition, various test systems are developed that mimic the properties of the plant surface individually and in combination. To investigate the influence of surface properties on fungal development, wheat leaves and the test systems are inoculated ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi influence host infection during epidemics in a wild plant pathosystem
New Phytologist, Volume 236, Issue 5, Page 1922-1935, December 2022., 2022 Summary While pathogenic and mutualistic microbes are ubiquitous across ecosystems and often co‐occur within hosts, how they interact to determine patterns of disease in genetically diverse wild populations is unknown. To test whether microbial mutualists provide protection against pathogens, and whether this varies among host genotypes, we conducted a

Environmental DNA, Volume 4, Issue 5, Page 1150-1163, September 2022., 2022 We established a robust system to examine fungal diversity in lake sediment cores, including an updated set of primers, optimized according to the now much enlarged fungal reference databases. We demonstrate that lake sediment DNA is a reliable archive of ancient terrestrial fungal communities from records reaching well into the Late Pleistocene ...

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Knautia arvensis
Journal of Ecology, Volume 110, Issue 8, Page 1970-1992, August 2022., 2022 Field Scabious is a widespread, native perennial of grasslands and meadows found throughout much of Europe. It is a popular plant frequently used as part of pollinator seed mixes, as the nectariferous blue‐lilac flowers support a range of generalist and specialist pollinators.
