A beneficial root endophyte buffers natural variation in pathogen susceptibility across Arabidopsis accessions

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Beneficial symbionts act as ecological stabilizers that mitigate differential pathogen susceptibility within natural plant populations. Summary Host genetic diversity shapes pathogen susceptibility within plant populations, raising the question of whether beneficial root microbes can buffer these differences.

Deciphering Role of Endophytes in Plant Defences and Biotic Stress Resilience Across Families

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
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 ...

Narrow mycorrhizae and large non-mycorrhizal fungal diversity associated with roots of Cattleya milleri, an endemic and endangered orchid from a rupestrian hotspot in the “Quadrilátero Ferrífero” of Minas Gerais - Brazil [PDF]

Acta Botânica Brasílica
The threatened orchid Cattleya milleri is a microendemic orchid of a Brazilian savanna hotspot. As endophytes and mycorrhizae may improve its propagation and conservation, we investigated its root fungal community.

Priming of Plant Defenses against Ophiostoma novo-ulmi by Elm (Ulmus minor Mill.) Fungal Endophytes

, 2021
Some fungal endophytes of forest trees are recognized as beneficial symbionts against stresses. In previous works, two elm endophytes from the classes Cystobasidiomycetes and Eurotiomycetes promoted host resistance to abiotic stress, and another elm ...

Leaf Structure and Hormonal Balance Modulate Host‐Specificity and Pathogenicity of Botrytis cinerea

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Botrytis cinerea, a highly successful necrotrophic fungal plant pathogen, demonstrates a remarkably broad host range, yet the precise factors governing its host specificity and its ability to coexist non‐pathogenically with plants remain unclear. This study systematically assessed host preference in a series of B. cinerea agricultural isolates,

Ecological Filtering by Tuber Compartments Shapes Stable Core Microbiomes That Underpin Potato Plant Growth Across Environments

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Harnessing plant microbiomes for sustainable agriculture requires understanding not only whether they can boost crop performance, but also how ecological processes govern their assembly, stability, and functional contributions across environments.

Cytokinins Promote Rust Susceptibility in Poplar by Suppressing Defence Signalling, Reducing Defence Accumulation and Reprogramming Primary Metabolism

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cytokinins (CKs), classically recognised as plant growth regulators, are increasingly implicated in plant‐microbe interactions. Studies in herbaceous plants suggest that CKs can function as signalling molecules with dual roles in plant defence, either restricting or facilitating pathogen infection.

Benzoic Acid Secreted From the Chickpea Root Promotes Persistent Colonisation by Specific Soil Microbes

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The plant root tip is highly sensitive to environmental cues and exerts sensory, chemical and movement responses. However, the microbial diversification at the root tip, and the nature of root‐selection for microbes, are poorly understood. This study investigated root exudation and microbiome colonisation in the chickpea (Cicer arietinum L ...

Bacterial and Fungal Endophytes: Tiny Giants with Immense Beneficial Potential for Plant Growth and Sustainable Agricultural Productivity

Microorganisms, 2019
The conventional means of achieving enhanced agricultural productivity are not ecologically balanced and sustainable. The excessive use of synthetic agrochemicals, declining soil nutrients, and water-use issues, amongst others, are threats to the ...
