Engineered Yarrowia lipolytica inducing gene silencing confers control ability against gray mold in plants

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Engineered the plant‐colonizing yeast Yarrowia lipolytica to produce and deliver double‐stranded RNAs targeting key genes of the gray mold fungus Botrytis cinerea produced a ‘living factory’ that continuously synthesizes and releases gene‐silencing molecules on plant surfaces, effectively suppressing the pathogen.

Efficiency of RNAi‐based gene silencing in fungi: a meta‐analysis

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Mechanistic interpretation of RNAi efficiency across fungal lifestyles and delivery strategies based on the present meta‐analysis. Summary RNA interference (RNAi) shows great potential to protect crops against fungal diseases, yet reported protection efficiencies vary greatly, and our understanding of the factors responsible for this variance remains ...

Differentiation of Phytopathogenic agrobacterium spp.

Pesticidi i fitomedicina, 2011
Due to the difficulties in differentiation of phytopathogenic Agrobacterium spp. and lack of a standardized protocol, we carried out selection and evaluation of suitable methods based on the bacterial physiological, genetic and pathogenic properties. Strains of Agrobacterium tumefaciens, A. rhizogenes and A.

Endophytic fungi associated with Monarda citriodora, an aromatic and medicinal plant and their biocontrol potential

Pharmaceutical Biology, 2017
Context: The Food and Agriculture Organization has estimated that every year considerable losses of the food crops occur due to plant diseases. Although fungicides are extensively used for management of plant diseases, they are expensive and hazardous to

Subversion of plant endomembrane trafficking by a Plasmodiophora brassicae effector PbALE that recruits membrane components at the host–pathogen interface to aid in colonization

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Schematics of ΔSPPbALE‐induced disruption of plant endomembrane trafficking impairs both preinvasive and postinvasive immunity against filamentous fungi and facilitates intracellular colonization by Plasmodiophora brassicae. Summary Plasmodiophora brassicae, an intracellular biotrophic protist that causes clubroot in crucifers, extensively alters the ...

Antimicrobial Peptides and Their Potential Applications in Plant Protection

Agronomy
The overuse of pesticides has led to resistance in phytopathogens, posing significant threats to global food security and environmental health. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), small molecules produced by various organisms as part of their innate immune ...

Cell wall integrity and elicitor peptide signaling modulate jasmonic acid‐mediated camalexin production in Arabidopsis

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Model of the cell wall damage (CWD)‐responsive signaling network leading to camalexin biosynthesis. Summary Plant cell walls constitute dynamic barriers that are essential for defense against pathogens. Beyond a structural role in blocking pathogen infection, innate mechanisms monitor cell wall integrity (CWI) in Arabidopsis thaliana and trigger local ...

A Lambda Red Recombinase‐Assisted CRISPR/Cas9 System for Efficient and Precise Genome Editing in Agrobacterium tumefaciens

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a powerful delivery tool for plant genetic transformation and a pivotal platform for agricultural biotechnology. However, laboratory strains of Agrobacterium have remained genetically unoptimized for decades, with genome engineering hindered by inefficient, endogenous homologous recombination systems.
