Directed Evolution of Plant‐Associated Bacteria Enhances Plant Holobiont Stress Tolerance

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant stress responses are shaped by both the plant genome and its associated microbial communities, which together form the plant holobiont. Given the rapid adaptive potential of plant‐associated microbes, we hypothesised that directed evolution under selective pressure can accelerate the development of holobiont‐level stress tolerance ...

Bacillus thuringiensis and its pest control potential as endophyte

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 6931-6939, July 2026.
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) systemically colonizes tomato plants as endophyte, inducing midgut damage, fitness reduction and immune suppression in Spodoptera littoralis larvae feeding on Bt‐colonized leaves. The immune suppression enhances the susceptibility to Bt treatments, allowing a synergistic dual use of Bt commercial formulations, by combined ...

Fungal disease management in cotton using plant protection products: An Australian perspective

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 6010-6023, July 2026.
Cotton disease management requires evidence‐driven use of plant protection products. Progress hinges on integrating chemistry, diagnostics, stewardship and sustainability to build resilient production systems. Abstract Cotton production faces persistent challenges from pathogens that compromise plant establishment, yield, and fibre quality.

Rhizosphere microbiome assembly and function in the Brassicaceae [PDF]

The rhizosphere microbiome is of great importance to plant health and function being described as the plants ‘second genome’ and an essential component in the host plants biology, ecology, and evolution.

Rhizobacteria regulate colonising Sitobion avenae aphid populations through induced host resistance and alter plant volatiles promoting early parasitoid recruitment on barley (Hordeum vulgare)

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 7050-7061, July 2026.
Rhizobacterial inoculation of barley reduced Sitobion avenae populations by inducing plant resistance and modifying volatiles that attracted parasitoid wasps earlier, enhancing both bottom‐up and top‐down pest control. Abstract BACKGROUND Soil rhizobacteria can enhance crop resistance to insect herbivores and influence higher trophic interactions ...

Treatment of cotton with plant growth‐promoting rhizobacteria consortium alters host location and oviposition of Spodoptera exigua

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 7123-7136, July 2026.
Two plant‐growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) consortia (AU8 and TX1) induced a deterrence of host plant location and oviposition behavior of Spodoptera exigua females in both susceptible and resistant cotton plants. Most of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) increased in PGPR‐treated plants compared to untreated plants. # indicates treatments not

Understanding the impact of soil microbiome on strawberry growth and nutritional profiles

Frontiers in Microbiology
The rhizosphere microbiome plays an important role in plant growth, nutrient acquisition, and overall health. In this study, we investigated the relationship between the rhizosphere microbiome and the health status of strawberries (Fragaria × ananassa ...

Coumarins Disrupt Cell–Cell Communication and Virulence in Priority Pathogens: Targeting the PQS Signalling System in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 7, July 2026.
The selective nature through which coumarin compounds produced by different species of plants target PQS signalling in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and select for distinct phenotypic responses in key pathogenic organisms adds to the growing evidence of their utility as natural virulence suppressors. ABSTRACT Cell‐to‐cell communication in microbial systems is

Effects of applying Trichoderma asperellum to rice (Oryza sativa) on phytobiome and plant responses

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 1, July 2026.
We investigated the effect of dipping at transplanting or post‐transplanting spray application on the root‐associated microbiome or leaf epiphytes via amplicon sequencing, and on plant responses via RNA‐seq. Both root dipping and foliar application with Trichoderma asperellum spore suspension only had a limited impact on the leaf epiphytes and root ...

Metagenome analysis of Citrus sinensis rhizosphere infected with Candidatus liberibacter asiaticus reveals distinct structure in bacterial communities

Scientific Reports
The rhizosphere microbiome plays crucial roles in different root-associated biological functions, especially regulating plant defense systems. Huanglongbing (HLB) disease, caused by Candidatus Liberibacter species, is a disaster threat to the global ...
