Bacterial and fungal endophyte communities in healthy and diseased oilseed rape and their potential for biocontrol of Sclerotinia and Phoma disease

Scientific Reports, 2021
Phoma stem canker (caused by the ascomycetes Leptosphaeria maculans and Leptosphaeria biglobosa) is an important disease of oilseed rape. Its effect on endophyte communities in roots and shoots and the potential of endophytes to promote growth and ...

Genetics of nodulation in Aeschynomene evenia uncovers mechanisms of the rhizobium–legume symbiosis

Nature Communications, 2021
The establishment of symbiotic interaction between Aeschynomene evenia and photosynthetic bradyrhizobia doesn’t involve the canonical Nod factors and infection threads. Here, the authors assemble the draft genome of A. evenia and identify a receptor-like

Effects of Epichloë endophyte and repeated cutting on nutrition compositions of Festuca sinensis

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2020
The presence of Epichloë endophyte can promote plant growth and increase the accumulation of host plant nutrients. We determined the dry matter (DM) and important nutritional indicators of E+ (infected by endophyte) and E- (not infected by endophyte ...

Microbiome of a Reef-Building Coral Displays Signs of Acclimation to a Stressful Shallow Hydrothermal Vent Habitat

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Most tropical reef corals live at temperatures near 27°C and pH values near 8. Conditions outside of these can stress corals and lead to bleaching, disease, and death.

A glutamate synthase mutant of Bradyrhizobium sp. strain ORS285 is unable to induce nodules on Nod factor-independent Aeschynomene species

Scientific Reports, 2021
The Bradyrhizobium sp. strain ORS285 is able to establish a nitrogen-fixing symbiosis with both Nod factor (NF) dependent and NF-independent Aeschynomene species.

Root symbioses as belowground C pumps: a mitigation strategy against rising CO2 levels

Circular Agricultural Systems, 2021
Mycorrhizal and N-fixing root symbioses evolved at two points in the past when global CO2 was highest, consistent with the high demand these symbioses place on host C.

Visualization of Gene Reciprocity among Lactic Acid Bacteria in Yogurt by RNase H-Assisted Rolling Circle Amplification-Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization

Microorganisms, 2021
Recently, we developed an in situ mRNA detection method termed RNase H-assisted rolling circle amplification-fluorescence in situ hybridization (RHa-RCA-FISH), which can detect even short mRNA in a bacterial cell.
