Microneedle‐Based Biofertilizer Delivery Improves Plant Growth Through Microbiome Engineering
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This figure shows how microneedles are used to deliver biofertilizers to enhance plant growth through microbial migration, metabolic reprogramming, and changes in plant endogenous microbiome. Abstract This study presents a microneedle‐based system for the delivery of rhizospheric biofertilizers into plant tissues to enhance growth.

Similar Characteristics of siRNAs of Plant Viruses Which Replicate in Plant and Fungal Hosts
Biology, 2022 RNA silencing is a host innate antiviral mechanism which acts via the synthesis of viral-derived small interfering RNAs (vsiRNAs). We have previously reported the infection of phytopathogenic fungi by plant viruses such as cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) and

Messenger RNA transport in the opportunistic fungal pathogen Candida albicans [PDF]
Current Genetics, 2017 Candida albicans, a common commensal fungus, can cause disease in immunocompromised hosts ranging from mild mucosal infections to severe bloodstream infections with high mortality rates. The ability of C. albicans cells to switch between a budding yeast form and an elongated hyphal form is linked to pathogenicity in animal models.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A series of vancomycin‐antimicrobial peptide conjugates is synthesized and evaluated to identify the optimal combination. Vm‐MSI, selected from multiple candidates, exhibited potent activity against vancomycin‐resistant and Gram‐negative bacteria by disrupting membranes and inducing oxidative stress, thereby expanding vancomycin's antibacterial ...

Plasmid-like dynamics of persistent RNA viruses in the host fungal population
Journal of VirologyUnlike the well-known acute or chronic animal and plant RNA viruses, most fungal RNA viruses (RNA mycoviruses) have a persistent life cycle. They lack an extracellular infection route and coexist with their hosts for a lifetime.
