Compatibility of mycorrhiza-induced resistance with viral and bacterial entomopathogens in the control of Spodoptera exigua in tomato. [PDF]
MIR‐induced defenses in tomato are compatible with the use of Bacillus thuringiensis and baculovirus for pest control. Abstract BACKGROUND Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are soil‐borne microorganisms that establish mutualistic associations with roots of most terrestrial plants.

De novo transcriptome analysis of Spodoptera exigua multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (SeMNPV) genes in latently infected Se301 cells [PDF]
Cells of the P8-Se301-C1 strain are Spodoptera exigua cell clones that each harbor a partial version of the S. exigua multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (SeMNPV) genome and which are resistant to homologous SeMNPV infections. The cells produce no viral progeny, suggesting that the infection is a latent-like viral infection.

Microbial antibiotics take the lead in the fight against plant pathogens. [PDF]
The potential of plant microbiome for the development of novel biopesticides for the integrated pest management of agricultural crops. Abstract The plant microbiome is essential for plant fitness and health. Antibiotics produced by plant‐associated bacteria have been shown to play an important role in protecting plant hosts against phytopathogens. Here,
