Identification and functional analysis of downy mildew effectors in lettuce and Arabidopsis [PDF]

, 2012
Oomycete pathogens cause large losses in many crop plants. Chemical control measures are undesirable and are becoming less effective. Resistance breeding has traditionally made use of dominant resistance genes to which oomycete pathogens have often been ...

Agricultural practices indirectly influence plant productivity and ecosystem services through effects on soil biota [PDF]

, 2014
It is well established that agricultural practices alter the composition and diversity of soil microbial communities. However, the impact of changing soil microbial communities on the functioning of the agroecosystems is still poorly understood.

Bacillus drives functional states in synthetic plant root bacterial communities

Genome Biology
Background Plant roots release root exudates to attract microbes that form root communities, which in turn promote plant health and growth. Root community assembly arises from millions of interactions between microbes and the plant, leading to robust and

Identification of Soil Bacterial Isolates Suppressing Different Phytophthora spp. and Promoting Plant Growth

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Bacterial isolates obtained from the rhizosphere of Arabidopsis and a plantless compost potting mix was screened for anti-oomycete activity against Phytophthora capsici, Phytophthora citricola, Phytophthora palmivora, and Phytophthora cinnamomi.

Photo‐Switchable Molecular Module Programming PET Biodegradation in Aquatic Environments

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We address the plastic durability paradox by integrating an itaconic acid–derived pyrrolidone module into polymer backbones. Sunlight in water triggers Norrish Type I ring‐opening and hydrophilization, enabling rapid biodegradation into nontoxic minerals.

Genetically Programmed Shape‐Morphing of Engineered Living Materials

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Here, bacterial and mammalian engineered living materials (ELMs) are presented, in which living cells direct genetically programmed and enzymatically mediated shape‐morphing. The resulting deformation and shape‐recovery can be actuated in a genetically controlled manner by an ELM incorporating out‐of‐equilibrium counteracting biochemical reactions with
