ABSTRACT Seed defence priming is emerging as a novel, cost‐efficient and environmentally safe tool for pest management. It has been proposed as a means to uncouple the defence‐growth trade‐off in plants by enhancing defence responses with minimal fitness costs, but the mechanisms underlying this role remain elusive.

ABSTRACT Drought limits the productivity of fast‐growing woody crops, although the metabolic adjustments conferring water stress tolerance remain poorly understood. We investigated the responses of Populus nigra seedlings to water stress by integrating daily physiological measurements and NMR metabolomic analyses.

Rhizobacteria‐Induced Systemic Priming Against Fungal Pathogens Involves Hydroxycinnamic Acid Amides
ABSTRACT The rhizosphere, a narrow region of soil surrounding roots, contains diverse microorganisms with a composition that is distinct from the surrounding soil. Some rhizosphere bacteria can trigger a heightened state of immunity in the whole plant, termed Induced Systemic Resistance (ISR).

ABSTRACT Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) has a high phosphorus (P) requirement, yet its shallow root system and the strong P‐fixing capacity of many soils limit the effectiveness of soil fertilisation. Foliar application of nano‐hydroxyapatite particles (nHAPs) has emerged as a promising alternative P fertilisation practice.

Deciphering Role of Endophytes in Plant Defences and Biotic Stress Resilience Across Families
ABSTRACT Plant families generate distinct repertoires of specialised metabolites that govern their biotic interactions. Endophytes strengthen host plant defence mechanisms and tolerance to biotic challenges by upregulating metabolite biosynthesis, modifying precursor compounds into more potent forms, or by directly synthesising analogous defence ...
