Biological Management of Soil-Borne Pathogens Through Tripartite Rhizosphere Interactions with Plant Growth-Promoting Fungi

Applied Microbiology
Soil-borne plant pathogens pose a serious threat to global food security by causing extensive yield losses and compromising crop quality. Conventional chemical-based control methods often prove inadequate, environmentally harmful, and disruptive to ...

Trade‐offs between soil biodiversity and agricultural expansion: Evidence from litter decomposition dynamics in Madagascar

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Home‐Field Advantage (HFA) theory—positing that litter decomposes faster at its site of origin—allows us to disentangle the respective influences of litter quality, soil biota composition, and microclimate on shifts in litter decomposition following land use conversion.

The impact of anecic earthworms on the dispersal of Microdochium nivale in amenity sports turf [PDF]

, 2012
In sports surface management, integrated disease management (IDM) is useful in identifying the parameters for which disease can occur. The host, pathogen and environment are factors that are intrinsically linked for disease to manifest.

Dark septate root endophytic fungi increase growth of Scots pine seedlings under elevated CO2 through enhanced nitrogen use efficiency.

, 2010
Although increasing concentrations of atmospheric CO2 are predicted to have substantial impacts on plant growth and functioning of ecosystems, there is insufficient understanding of the responses of belowground processes to such increases.

Soil legacy effects on a temperate tree species depend on the mycorrhizal types and phylogenetic distance of the conditioning trees

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Associations of trees with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi often shape distinct microbial communities in soils. Whether this distinction can create different soil legacies and to what extent such legacies are correlated to phylogenetic ...

Effects of sustanaible soil management on soil quality

, 2010
The declining of soil fertility due to intensive agriculture represents the main constraint to agricultural productivity. Sustainability of agriculture may be threatened by the progressive reduction of soil organic matter without adequate restoration ...

Soil sterilization accumulates higher content of antibacterial compound and recruits beneficial fungus for konjac soft rot disease management by multi-omics analyses

BMC Plant Biology
Konjac soft rot is a typical soil-borne disease, and while soil sterilization is known to reduce pathogen inoculum and disease incidence, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

Fungal community structure in disease suppressive soils assessed by 28S LSU gene sequencing.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Natural biological suppression of soil-borne diseases is a function of the activity and composition of soil microbial communities. Soil microbe and phytopathogen interactions can occur prior to crop sowing and/or in the rhizosphere, subsequently ...

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations

Insect Science, EarlyView.
This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...
