Modified N-acyl-homoserine lactones as chemical probes for the elucidation of plant–microbe interactions

open access: yesOrganic & Biomolecular Chemistry, 2013
Gram-negative bacteria often use N-acyl-honnoserine lactones (AHLs) as signal molecules to monitor their local population densities and to regulate gene-expression in a process called "Quorum Sensing" (QS). This cell-to-cell communication allows bacteria to adapt to environmental changes and to behave as multicellular communities.

The coming of age of EvoMPMI:evolutionary molecular plant-microbe interactions across multiple timescales [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Plant-microbe interactions are great model systems to study co-evolutionary dynamics across multiple timescales. However, mechanistic research on plant-microbe interactions has often been conducted with little consideration of evolutionary concepts and ...

Why farmers should manage the arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The Tansley review by Ryan & Graham (2018) provided a welcome critical perspective on the role of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi in large‐scale industrial agriculture, with a focus on cereals (wheat, Triticum aestivum).

Elucidation of Essential Genes and Mutant Fitness during Adaptation toward Nitrogen Fixation Conditions in the Endophyte Azoarcus olearius BH72 Revealed by Tn-Seq

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2022
Azoarcus olearius BH72 is a diazotrophic model endophyte that contributes fixed nitrogen to its host plant, Kallar grass, and expresses nitrogenase genes endophytically.

Natural history of Arabidopsis thaliana and oomycete symbioses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Molecular ecology of plant–microbe interactions has immediate significance for filling a gap in knowledge between the laboratory discipline of molecular biology and the largely theoretical discipline of evolutionary ecology.

A prophage tail-like protein is deployed by Burkholderia bacteria to feed on fungi

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
Some bacteria can feed on live fungi through unclear mechanisms. Here, the authors show that a T3SS-secreted protein, which is homologous to phage tail proteins, allows a Burkholderia gladioli strain to kill and feed on various fungal species.

Pathogen effector recognition-dependent association of NRG1 with EDS1 and SAG101 in TNL receptor immunity

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
For defence, plants deploy nucleotide binding, leucine-rich repeat (NLR) immune receptors to detect pathogens that signal via modular networks of downstream proteins.

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

open access: yesPlant, 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

Phytohormone-mediated interkingdom signaling shapes the outcome of rice-Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae interactions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Background: Small-molecule hormones are well known to play key roles in the plant immune signaling network that is activated upon pathogen perception. In contrast, little is known about whether phytohormones also directly influence microbial virulence ...

A cell death assay in barley and wheat protoplasts for identification and validation of matching pathogen AVR effector and plant NLR immune receptors

open access: yesPlant Methods, 2019
Background Plant disease resistance to host-adapted pathogens is often mediated by host nucleotide-binding and leucine-rich repeat (NLR) receptors that detect matching pathogen avirulence effectors (AVR) inside plant cells.
