Modes of Action of Microbial Biocontrol in the Phyllosphere

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
A fast-growing field of research focuses on microbial biocontrol in the phyllosphere. Phyllosphere microorganisms possess a wide range of adaptation and biocontrol factors, which allow them to adapt to the phyllosphere environment and inhibit the growth ...

Biocontrol Strains Differentially Shift the Genetic Structure of Indigenous Soil Populations of Aspergillus flavus

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Biocontrol using non-aflatoxigenic strains of Aspergillus flavus has the greatest potential to mitigate aflatoxin contamination in agricultural produce. However, factors that influence the efficacy of biocontrol agents in reducing aflatoxin accumulation ...

Genetic manipulation of plant growth-promoting bacteria to enhance biocontrol of phytopathogens [PDF]

Biotechnology Advances, 1997
Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) control the damage to plants from phytopathogens by a number of different mechanisms including: outcompeting the phytopathogen, physical displacement of the phytopathogen, secretion of siderophores to prevent pathogens in the immediate vicinity from proliferating, synthesis of antibiotics, synthesis of a variety ...

Climate warming can reduce biocontrol efficacy and promote plant invasion due to both genetic and transient metabolomic changes. [PDF]

, 2022
Climate change may affect plant-herbivore interactions and their associated ecosystem functions. In an experimental evolution approach, we subjected replicated populations of the invasive Ambrosia artemisiifolia to a combination of simulated warming and ...

Genetically engineered insects with sex-selection and genetic incompatibility enable population suppression

eLife, 2022
Engineered Genetic Incompatibility (EGI) is a method to create species-like barriers to sexual reproduction. It has applications in pest control that mimic Sterile Insect Technique when only EGI males are released.

Benefits and risks of gene drives for invasive plant management - the case for common tansy

Frontiers in Agronomy, 2023
Invasive plants cause significant environmental and economic damage, but land managers have few control options. Common tansy (Tanacetum vulgare) is prevalent in many US states and is one of the most reported invasive plants in Minnesota.

Population genomics of invasive rodents on islands: Genetic consequences of colonization and prospects for localized synthetic gene drive

Evolutionary Applications, 2021
Introduced rodent populations pose significant threats worldwide, with particularly severe impacts on islands. Advancements in genome editing have motivated interest in synthetic gene drives that could potentially provide efficient and localized ...

The genome of a vestimentiferan tubeworm (Ridgeia piscesae) provides insights into its adaptation to a deep-sea environment

BMC Genomics, 2023
Background Vestimentifera (Polychaeta, Siboglinidae) is a taxon of deep-sea worm-like animals living in deep-sea hydrothermal vents, cold seeps, and organic falls.
