Plant microbiomes are essential to host health and productivity but the ecological processes that govern crop microbiome assembly not fully known. Here we examined bacterial communities across 684 samples from soils (rhizosphere bulk soil) multiple compartment niches (rhizoplane, root endosphere, phylloplane, leaf endosphere) in maize (Zea mays)-wheat (Triticum aestivum)/barley (Hordeum vulgare) rotation system under different fertilization practices at two contrasting sites. Our results...
The plant microbiome is an integral part of the host and increasingly recognized as playing fundamental roles in growth health. Increasing evidence indicates that rhizosphere recruits beneficial microbes to suppress soil-borne pathogens. However, ecological processes govern assembly functions below- aboveground compartments under pathogen invasion are not fully understood. Here, we studied bacterial fungal communities associated with 12 (e.g., soils, roots, stems, fruits) chili pepper...
Abstract Background Plants live with diverse microbial communities which profoundly affect multiple facets of host performance, but if and how development impacts the assembly, functions interactions crop microbiomes are poorly understood. Here we examined both bacterial fungal across soils, epiphytic endophytic niches leaf root, plastic fake plant (representing environment-originating microbes) at three developmental stages maize two contrasting sites, further explored potential function...
Plants harbour highly diverse mycobiomes which sustain essential functions for host health and productivity. However, ecological processes that govern the plant-mycobiome assembly, interactions their impact on ecosystem remain poorly known. Here we characterized role community assembly of both abundant rare fungal taxa along soil-plant continuums (rhizosphere, phyllosphere endosphere) in maize-wheat/barley rotation system under different fertilization practices at two contrasting sites. Our...
Summary Viruses can affect microbial dynamics, metabolism and biogeochemical cycles in aquatic ecosystems. However, viral diversity functions agricultural soils are poorly known, especially the rhizosphere. We used virome analysis of eight rhizosphere bulk to study potential impacts an agro‐ecosystem. The order Caudovirales was predominant type soils, with Siphoviridae being most abundant family. Phylogenetic terminase large subunit identified high three novel groups. Viral community...
Abstract The One Health concept proposes that the health of humans, animals, and environment are interconnected. Agricultural production is a critical component as food links to human health. Food not only provides nutrients humans but also represents an important pathway for exposure environmental microbes well potentially harmful agrochemicals. In addition, inappropriate agronomic practices can cause damage which have unintended adverse impacts on Therefore, improving agricultural systems...
Abstract Sustainable increase in agriculture productivity is confronted by over‐reliance and over‐use of synthetic chemical fertilizers. With a market projection $5.02 billion 2030, biofertilizers are gaining momentum as supplement and, some cases, an alternative to Biofertilizers can improve the nutritional supply plant simultaneously soil health, reduce greenhouse emissions, hence directly contribute towards environmental sustainability. Plant growth‐promoting microbes (PGPMs) particularly...
ABSTRACT Multitrophic interactions in the soil food web represent an important factor shaping relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functions (BEF) under changing environmental conditions. Despite some recent advancements, relative contribution, mechanisms by which multitrophic affect stability, however, remain poorly understood. Here, we provide overview of current understanding role BEF explore mechanistic pathways that may underpin their stability. We also discuss potential...
Soilborne pathogens affect agricultural productivity and soil functions, yet their specific impacts of pathogen infections on the plant root-associated microbiomes, key determinants health, remain unclear. Filling this knowledge gap is required to understanding microbial ecological responses, developing biological tools manage predict prevalence severity soilborne diseases, which can improve yield. We hypothesized that impact diversity, function, interactions in microbiomes form a...
Cell death-inducing proteins (CDIPs) play important roles in the infection of Botrytis cinerea, a broad host-range necrotrophic phytopathogen. Here, we show that secreted protein BcCDI1 (Cell Death Inducing 1) can cause necrosis tobacco leaves and at same time elicit plant defense. The transcription Bccdi1 was induced stage. Deletion or overexpression resulted no notable change disease lesion on bean, tobacco, Arabidopsis leaves, indicating has effect final outcome B. cinerea infection....
ABSTRACT Plant-associated diazotrophs strongly relate to plant nitrogen (N) supply and growth. However, our knowledge of diazotrophic community assembly microbial N metabolism in microbiomes is largely limited. Here we examined the temporal dynamics communities across multiple compartments (soils, epiphytic endophytic niches root leaf, grain) three cereal crops (maize, wheat, barley) identified potential N-cycling pathways phylloplane microbiomes. Our results demonstrated that species pool,...
Multiple copies in T-cell lymphoma-1 (MCTS1) plays an important role various cancers; however, its effects on patient prognosis and immune infiltration breast cancer remain unclear. In this study, the expression profiles clinical information of patients with were obtained from Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Using Wilcoxon rank-sum test, MCTS1 levels compared between normal tissues. Functional enrichment analyses performed to explore potential signaling pathways biological functions...
Abstract Long‐term mowing can cause morphological stuntedness of plants, thus reducing grassland productivity and exacerbating degradation. Although plant microbiomes enhance resistance against disturbance, considerable uncertainty exists regarding how mowing‐induced trait plasticity affect in natural grasslands. Here we examined the responses leaf/root‐associated bacterial (LAB/RAB) communities 11 dominant herbaceous perennials (six replicates per species) to a 17‐year treatment temperate...
B lymphocyte-induced maturation protein-1 (Blimp1) is a key regulator that promotes the terminal differentiation of mature lymphocytes into plasma cells, and essential for survival Multiple myeloma (MM)cells. However, expression Blimp1 in MM its effect on signaling pathway remain unknown. Studies have found during long-term endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, activated ATF4 may also stimulate CCAAT-enhancer-binding protein homologous (CHOP) gene, triggering unfolded response (UPR) apoptotic...
Summary Botrytis cinerea is a broad‐host‐range necrotrophic phytopathogen responsible for serious diseases in leading crops. To facilitate infection, B . secretes large number of effectors that induce plant cell death. In screening secretome data during infection stage, we identified phytotoxic protein (BcSSP2) can also immune resistance plants. BcSSP2 small, cysteine‐rich without any known domains. Transient expression leaves caused chlorosis intensifies with time and eventually leads to...
