Unravelling the Bacterial Community Composition of Valerianella locusta, A Cold-Tolerant Plant

Phytobiomes Journal, 2023
Low temperatures greatly affect plant growth. In addition to the development of its own protection mechanisms, plants may rely on microorganisms to help them cope with cold.

The soil bacterium Lysobacter capsici attaches to the nematode surface, and triggers induced systemic resistance in barley, impairing the invasion of root‐lesion nematodes

Oikos, Volume 2025, Issue 4, April 2025.
Root‐lesion nematodes pose a global threat to crop yield and stability, with their broad host range presenting a formidable challenge for effective management. In this study, we investigated the role of the nematode‐attached bacterium Lysobacter capsici in mitigating the invasion of Pratylenchus penetrans into spring barley roots.

Validation of a PNA Clamping Method for Reducing Host DNA Amplification and Increasing Eukaryotic Diversity in Rhizosphere Microbiome Studies

Phytobiomes Journal, 2020
Protists and microscopic animals are important but poorly understood determinants of plant health. Plant-associated eukaryotes could be surveyed by high-throughput sequencing of 18S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes but the abundance of plant DNA in rhizosphere

Host Species–Microbiome Interactions Contribute to Sphagnum Moss Growth Acclimation to Warming

Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 2, February 2025.
Sphagnum mosses are vital for storing carbon in northern peatlands but are sensitive to climate warming. They host microbes that help with nutrient uptake and carbon cycling, and recent studies suggest microbes may also help mosses survive rising temperatures. However, it is unclear how much microbes contribute compared to the mosses' natural abilities

Improving reliability of PCR diagnostics for Xylophilus ampelinus by metagenome‐informed circumscription of the target taxon

Plant Pathology, Volume 74, Issue 1, Page 249-257, January 2025.
After delineating the genotaxonomic boundaries of the species Xylophilus ampelinus, we developed a robust multiplex PCR assay expected to reduce the risk of false positives in the diagnosis of bacterial blight of grapevine. Abstract Xylophilus ampelinus is a xylematic bacterium causing bacterial blight of grapevine, a disease regarded as a potential ...

Monitoring the Persistence of Pseudomonas sivasensis Strain CF10PS3 in Cereal Fields

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 13, Issue 6, December 2024.
This study developed qPCR probes that specifically distinguish Pseudomonas sivasensis CF10PS3 from other strains within the species. These probes enabled precise monitoring of CF10PS3 persistence in the wheat phyllosphere under field conditions, providing insights into microbial population dynamics.

The underground world of plant disease: Rhizosphere dysbiosis reduces above‐ground plant resistance to bacterial leaf spot and alters plant transcriptome

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 26, Issue 7, July 2024.
Applying an antibiotic (streptomycin at 0.6 g/L) to the rhizosphere of plants resulted in dysbiosis, which is an imbalance in the microbial community. This imbalance led to a decrease in cyanobacteria, increased disease development, and the upregulation of genes related to plant defence and pathogenicity.

Exploring the Effects of Trichoderma virens Biofungicide on Carrot Cavity Spot and Soil Fungal Community Dynamics [PDF]

Carrot cavity spot (CCS) has conventionally been managed with fungicides. However, fungicide resistance, their potential risks to human health and the environment, and the increasing demand for organic produce necessitate the exploration of biofungicides

A European stakeholder survey on soil science skills for sustainable agriculture

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 75, Issue 2, March–April 2024.
Abstract The European Union's soil strategy for 2030 has set the objective of achieving ‘healthy soils’ in Europe by 2050. To achieve this ambitious goal, dedicated soil science skills will be needed in the future. This article presents the results of a survey on soil science skills for the future conducted within the framework of the European Joint ...

Acinetobacter enrichment shapes composition and function of the bacterial microbiota of field-grown tomato plants [PDF]

Tomato is a staple crop and an excellent model to study host-microbiota interactions in the plant food chain. In this study, we describe a “lab-in-the-field” approach to investigate the microbiota of field-grown tomato plants.
