ERF transcription factor StPti5 is a regulator of endophyte community maintenance in potato
Summary We have recently identified an ethylene response factor, StPti5, as a susceptibility factor that negatively regulates immune responses to diverse pathogens. Here, we investigated the role of StPti5 in the processes involved in the colonization of potato with beneficial organisms.

Observing the invisible: X‐ray CT for plant–microbe interactions
Utility of X‐ray computed tomography (X‐ray CT) for visualising belowground plant interactions between multiple spatial scales and focal planes. Summary Plant–microbe interactions are inherently spatial, yet the physical structure of the soil and rhizosphere is rarely treated as a mechanistic variable in experimental design.

Fine‐tuning quantitative agronomic traits by manipulating gene copy number in rice
Although plant pan‐genome studies have revealed extensive copy number variations, their phenotypic consequences remain poorly understood. Here, we manipulated the copy number of OsMADS18 in rice (Oryza sativa) cv ‘Hitomebore’ using the CRISPR/Cas9 system.

Cuscuta reflexa infection sites. Summary Cuscuta species are holoparasitic plants that penetrate host stems with haustoria, connect to the vasculature and exhaust water, nutrients and carbohydrates. Parasite seedlings possess only limited maternal reserves and the development of a vascular connection takes several days.

Barley HvBODYGUARD1 controls cuticular specialisations regulated by SHINE transcription factors
Cuticle defects result from defective HvBDG1 alleles. Summary Land plants secrete a protective outer cuticular layer with diverse functions. Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) develops two cuticular specialisations: the β‐diketone rich wax bloom on vegetative tissues and an adherent grain surface which sticks to the hulls, leading to barley's distinctive ...
