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 ...

A Meta‐Analysis Reveals That the Protective Role of Silicon in Grasses Against Fungal Pathogens Depends on Infection Mechanism

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pathogen infection drives plant community structure and constrains global agricultural productivity. Silicon (Si) improves resistance to abiotic and herbivory stress, particularly in grasses, but relatively little attention has addressed Si‐mediated resistance to pathogens, nor has it tested how this varies according to the type of plant and ...

Induced defence by a root hemiparasite increases host plant resistance against future infection

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Infection by root hemiparasites can increase mortality of parasites during future infection, indicating induced host defence mechanisms. Abstract European grassland plants are frequently attacked by root hemiparasites. However, little is known about host defence responses to parasitism.

The variation in morphology of perennial ryegrass cultivars throughout the grazing season and effects on organic matter digestibility [PDF]

, 2013
peer-reviewedThe grass plant comprises leaf, pseudostem, true stem (including inflorescence) and dead material. These components differ in digestibility, and variations in their relative proportions can affect sward quality.
