Salvia miltiorrhiza is a highly valuable medicinal plant and its cultivation constrained by limited suitable land. Long-term continuous cropping practices alleviate limitations in planting area as well causes the decline yield quality. Endophytic microorganisms colonize inside roots are known to play important roles improving performance of model plants (such Arabidopsis thaliana) food crops wheat, soybean, rice maize). However, understanding how with different growth status (i.e., healthy disease) shape assembly root-endophytic functional importance these remains largely unknown. Here, we investigated links improvement. We found that had distinct bacterial communities. Healthy recruited some potentially beneficial bacteria partners, particularly Pseudomonas into endosphere. further on subsequent greenhouse field experiments. effectively increased seedling growth, crop yield, content effective components.

The tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is consumed globally as a fresh vegetable due to its high nutritional value and antioxidant properties. However, soil-borne diseases can severely limit production. These diseases, such bacterial wilt (BW), Fusarium (FW), Verticillium (VW), root-knot nematodes (RKN), significantly reduce the yield quality of tomatoes. Using agrochemicals combat these lead chemical residues, pesticide resistance, environmental pollution. Unfortunately, resistant varieties are not yet available. Therefore, we must find alternative strategies protect tomatoes from diseases. One most promising solutions harnessing microbial communities that suppress disease promote plant growth immunity. Recent omics technologies next-generation sequencing advances help us develop microbiome-based mitigate This review emphasizes importance interdisciplinary approaches understanding utilization beneficial microbiomes improve crop productivity.

Abstract Chitinases, enzymes that degrade chitin, have long been studied for their role in various biological processes. They play crucial roles the moulting process of invertebrates, digestion chitinous food, and defense against chitin-bearing pathogens. Additionally, chitinases are involved physiological functions crustaceans, such as food digestion, moulting, stress response. Moreover, universally distributed organisms from viruses to mammals diverse including tissue degradation remodeling, nutrition uptake, pathogen invasion, immune response regulation. The discovery these expands our understanding significance potential applications chitinases. However, recent research has shown possess several other beyond just chitin degradation. Their biopesticides, therapeutic agents, tools bioremediation underscores addressing global challenges. More importantly, we noted they may be applied bioweapons if ethical regulations regarding production, engineering application overlooked.
