Rare Taxa Exhibit Disproportionate Cell-Level Metabolic Activity in Enriched Anaerobic Digestion Microbial Communities

mSystems, 2019
Microbial communities are composed of populations with vastly different abundances and levels of metabolic and replicative activity, ranging from actively metabolizing and dividing to dormant or nonviable.

Experimental and genomic evidence clarifies the mycorrhizal helper role of a widespread bacterium in Bishop pine forests

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Hypothetical model of Paraburkholderia–EcMF–Bishop pine interactions. Summary Whether a widespread bacterial strain of Paraburkholderia can enhance the physiological responses of ectomycorrhizal fungi (EcMF) and host Bishop pine seedling growth remains unclear. We developed a ‘top‐down meets bottom‐up’ approach that harmonized data from molecular field

Comparative genomics of dark septate endophytes: shedding light on the enigmatic lifestyle and biology of DSEs

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Ancestral lifestyle reconstruction across the phylogeny of the 107 analysed fungal genomes. Summary Dark septate endophytes (DSE) are widespread root‐colonising fungi with poorly understood lifestyle and ecological functions. We investigated their genomic traits, sexual reproduction signatures, carbohydrate‐active enzyme (CAZyme) and secondary ...

DNA‐Barcoded Polysaccharide Specific Monoclonal Antibodies Facilitate Sensitive and Multiplexed Detection of Cell Wall Polymers

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant cell walls are polysaccharide‐rich extracellular matrices composed of multiple complex carbohydrate polymer networks, including cellulose, hemicelluloses, pectins, and glycosylated proteins. Polysaccharide deposition critically impacts cell wall structure, and structural microheterogeneity within cell wall glycans also influences polymer

Lodging Tolerance of Winter Rye (Secale cereale L.) in Genetic Resources Compared With Commercial Entries and Test of a Provocation Trial

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Winter rye is the tallest small‐grain cereal and consequently more prone to lodging. Plant growth regulators are routinely used in commercial production to reduce the risk of lodging. To select genotypes with better tolerance to stem lodging despite its incidental character, we tested the use of a provocation trial with higher nitrogen level ...

Sugars as Central Integrators of Plant Immunity and Stress Responses

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sugars are fundamental metabolites that sustain plant growth and development, but accumulating evidence demonstrates that they also function as regulatory hubs in plant defence. In this review, we synthesise current knowledge on how carbohydrate dynamics coordinate metabolism, signalling, and structural responses to shape plant resistance ...

The Ash Dieback Pathogen Resists the Chemical Defences of Its Host Tree, European Ash, by Depleting Them From the Growth Medium

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant pathogenic fungi are major drivers of disease in forest trees, often causing substantial ecological and economic damage. Ash dieback, caused by the ascomycete Hymenoscyphus fraxineus, has resulted in the widespread decline of Fraxinus excelsior populations throughout Europe.

Unveiling metabolic pathways of selected plant-derived glycans by Bifidobacterium pseudocatenulatum

Frontiers in Microbiology
Bifidobacteria are commonly encountered members of the human gut microbiota that possess the enzymatic machinery necessary for the metabolism of certain plant-derived, complex carbohydrates.

Cellulose Nanofibril (CNF) Films and Xylan from Hot Water Extracted Birch Kraft Pulps

Applied Sciences, 2019
The effects of xylan extraction from birch kraft pulp on the manufacture and properties of cellulose nanofibril (CNF) films were here investigated. Hot water extractions of bleached and unbleached kraft pulps were performed in a flow-through system to ...

Effects of Meloidogyne incognita on agronomic parameters and structural changes in eggplant (Solanum gilo Raddi) roots treated with Purpureocillium lilacinum

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Meloidogyne incognita impairs eggplant growth through gall formation with changes in root cell wall components and vascular tissue disruption, while the biocontrol agent Purpureocillium lilacinum mitigates these effects by reducing nematode infection. Abstract Meloidogyne spp. induce structural changes during the development of root‐knot galls, leading
