From trade‐off to synergy: microbial insights into enhancing plant growth and immunity
Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 22, Issue 9, Page 2461-2471, September 2024.Summary 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.

Induction of ascocarp production in Paecilomyces variotii and Talaromyces trachyspermus [PDF]
Heat-resistant molds (HRMs) are common spoilage fungi in heat-processed fruit products, with key species being Paecilomyces variotii and Talaromyces trachyspermus. Their heat resistance is attributed to sexually produced spores called ascospores.
