Streptomycetes are soil-dwelling, filamentous actinobacteria and represent a prominent bacterial clade inside the plant root microbiota. The ability of streptomycetes to produce broad spectrum antifungal metabolites suggests that these bacteria could be used manage diseases. Here, we describe identification soil Streptomyces strain named AgN23 which strongly activates large array defense responses when applied on Arabidopsis thaliana leaves. increased biosynthesis salicylic acid, leading...
The roots of most land plants are colonized by symbiotic arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) fungi. To facilitate this symbiosis, plant genomes encode a set genes required for microbial perception and accommodation. However, the extent to which infection filamentous root pathogens also relies on some these remains an open question. Here, we used genome-wide association mapping identify contributing colonization Medicago truncatula pathogenic oomycete Phytophthora palmivora. Single-nucleotide...
The cell wall is the primary interface between plant cells and their immediate environment must balance multiple functionalities, including regulation of growth, entry beneficial microbes, protection against pathogens. Here, we demonstrate how API, a SCAR2 protein component SCAR/WAVE complex, controls root architecture important for pathogenic oomycete symbiotic bacterial interactions in legumes. A mutation API results resistance to pathogen Phytophthora palmivora colonization defects by...
Societal Impact Statement Rice farming is transitioning from transplanting rice seedlings towards the less labour‐intensive and water‐demanding method of directly seeding rice. This, however, accompanied by increased weed proliferation. To tackle this issue, study seeks to identify how crop itself can better suppress weeds, with a focus on light competition via shading. Using diversity panel, traits were identified that contribute enhanced shading capacity, these encapsulated into single...
Rice feeds more than half of the world's human population. In modern rice farming, a major constraint for productivity is weed proliferation and ecological impact herbicide application. Increased competitiveness commercial varieties requires enhanced shade casting to limit growth shade-sensitive weeds need herbicide. We aimed identify traits that enhance shading capacity based on canopy architecture underlying genetic components. performed phenotypic screen diversity panel comprised 344...
