Optimisation of the amount of nitrogen enhances quality and yield of pepper

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2021
The goals of this study were to explore the characteristics of nitrogen (N) absorption and utilisation of chilli peppers (Capsicum annuum L.), improve the utilisation rate of nitrogen, and provide a theoretical basis for scientific fertilisation. In this

Site-specific cleavage of bacterial MucD by secreted proteases mediates antibacterial resistance in Arabidopsis

Nature Communications, 2019
During innate immune responses, plant cells secrete proteases into apoplastic spaces where they contribute to pathogen resistance. Here Wang et al. show that the Arabidopsis SAP1 and SAP2 proteases cleave the bacterial MucD protein to inhibit growth of ...

Targeted gene deletion with SpCas9 and multiple guide RNAs in Arabidopsis thaliana: four are better than two

Plant Methods, 2023
Background In plant genome editing, RNA-guided nucleases such as Cas9 from Streptococcus pyogenes (SpCas9) predominantly induce small insertions or deletions at target sites.

Transcriptome Signatures in Pseudomonas simiae WCS417 Shed Light on Role of Root-Secreted Coumarins in Arabidopsis-Mutualist Communication

Microorganisms, 2021
Pseudomonas simiae WCS417 is a root-colonizing bacterium with well-established plant-beneficial effects. Upon colonization of Arabidopsis roots, WCS417 evades local root immune responses while triggering an induced systemic resistance (ISR) in the leaves.

An EDS1 heterodimer signalling surface enforces timely reprogramming of immunity genes in Arabidopsis

Nature Communications, 2019
CC and TIR-domain type NLR receptors trigger plant immunity in response to pathogen effectors. Here, Bhandari et al. show that the EP-domain surface of EDS1 heterodimers signals downstream of both receptor types and ensures a rapid transcriptional ...

Rhizobacteria-Mediated Activation of the Fe Deficiency Response in Arabidopsis Roots: Impact on Fe Status and Signaling

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
The beneficial root-colonizing rhizobacterium Pseudomonas simiae WCS417 stimulates plant growth and induces systemic resistance against a broad spectrum of plant diseases. In Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis), the root transcriptional response to WCS417

Bacteria-fungal Confrontation and Fungal Growth Prevention Assay

Bio-Protocol, 2018
There are some bacteria which can grow and multiply at the cost of living fungal biomass. They can potentially utilize fungi as a source of nutrients to forage over them.

Microbial interactions within the plant holobiont

Microbiome, 2018
Since the colonization of land by ancestral plant lineages 450 million years ago, plants and their associated microbes have been interacting with each other, forming an assemblage of species that is often referred to as a “holobiont.” Selective pressure ...

Phosphate Solubilizing Rhizobacteria Could Have a Stronger Influence on Wheat Root Traits and Aboveground Physiology Than Rhizosphere P Solubilization

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Limited P availability in several agricultural areas is one of the key challenges facing current agriculture. Exploiting P-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) has been an emerging bio-solution for a higher rhizosphere P-availability, meanwhile the above- and ...

Atmospheric CO2 Alters Resistance of Arabidopsis to Pseudomonas syringae by Affecting Abscisic Acid Accumulation and Stomatal Responsiveness to Coronatine

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Atmospheric CO2 influences plant growth and stomatal aperture. Effects of high or low CO2 levels on plant disease resistance are less well understood. Here, resistance of Arabidopsis thaliana against the foliar pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv.
