Microbial Consortia for Plant Protection against Diseases: More than the Sum of Its Parts

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 24(15), С. 12227 - 12227

Biological plant protection presents a promising and exciting alternative to chemical methods for safeguarding plants against the increasing threats posed by diseases. This approach revolves around utilization of biological control agents (BCAs) suppress activity significant pathogens. Microbial BCAs have potential effectively manage crop disease development interacting with pathogens or hosts, thereby their resistance. However, current efficacy remains unsatisfactory, creating new research opportunities sustainable cultivation management. In this context, microbial consortia, comprising multiple microorganisms diverse mechanisms action, hold promise in terms augmenting magnitude stability overall antipathogen effect. Despite scientific efforts identify construct consortia that can aid vital crops, only limited number consortia-based biocontrol formulations are currently available. Therefore, article aims present complex analysis status explore future directions technological advancements.

Plant–Fungi Interactions: Where It Goes?

Biology, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 12(6), С. 809 - 809

Опубликована: Июнь 2, 2023

Fungi live different lifestyles—including pathogenic and symbiotic—by interacting with living plants. Recently, there has been a substantial increase in the study of phytopathogenic fungi their interactions Symbiotic relationships plants appear to be lagging behind, although progressive. Phytopathogenic cause diseases put pressure on survival. Plants fight back against such pathogens through complicated self-defense mechanisms. However, develop virulent responses overcome plant defense reactions, thus continuing deteriorative impacts. positively influence both fungi. More interestingly, they also help protect themselves from pathogens. In light nonstop discovery novel strains, it is imperative pay more attention plant–fungi interactions. Both are responsive environmental changes, therefore construction interaction effects emerged as new field study. this review, we first attempt highlight evolutionary aspect interactions, then mechanism avoid negative impact fungi, fungal strategies defensive once have invaded, finally changes under conditions.

Endophytic Fungi as Potential Bio-Control Agents of Soil-Borne Pathogen

Deleted Journal, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 76(3), С. 617 - 636

Опубликована: Март 11, 2024

As possible biocontrol agents against soil-borne infections, root endophytic fungi, also known as fungal endophytes, have gained attention. Recently, it has been discovered that endophytes and fungi found in plant roots are promising for diseases. These can shield plants from the harm knots rot pathogens cause. They display characteristics crucial long-term disease control agriculture, such generation of systemic resistance, production antifungal metabolites, stimulation development. This review examines different types, underlying mechanisms, relationships with pathogens. Using agricultural systems requires standardized selection, application, evaluation approaches. Fungal shown promise preventing spread diseases, reducing need chemical pesticides, increasing crop yields. other could improve pathogen management viability food production. Supporting ecologically friendly methods accelerating sustainable agriculture be accomplished use these helpful fungi. However, further study is required to explore entophytic dramatically practices provide more eco-friendly agriculture.

Role of Mineral Nitrogen Nutrition in Fungal Plant Diseases of Cereal Crops

Critical Reviews in Plant Sciences, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 42(3), С. 93 - 123

Опубликована: Апрель 7, 2023

Conventional chemical crop protection with pesticides is increasingly seen as being critical, because of pesticide residues in food and the environment. Integrated alternative management strategies such rotations soil might also involve targeted use certain mineral fertilizers benefits for plant health. A key element required healthy crops nitrogen, which applied at differing dosages various forms, all distinct effects on physiology growth. Here, we review classical more recent evidence disease-protective nitrogen forms. We conclude that simple general statements concerning roles agricultural environments remain elusive, although complex plant-soil microbial interaction networks are becoming understood. The health modern varieties be substantially improved by fertilizer particularly when disease-causing fungal species known.

Unveiling Methods to Stimulate Plant Resistance against Pathogens

Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 29(5)

Опубликована: Май 14, 2024

Plant diseases caused by pathogens pose significant threats to agricultural productivity and food security worldwide. The traditional approach of relying on chemical pesticides for disease management has proven be unsustainable, emphasizing the urgent need sustainable environmentally friendly alternatives. One promising strategy is enhance plant resistance against through various methods. This review aims unveil explore effective methods stimulating resistance, transforming vulnerable plants into vigilant defenders pathogens. We discuss both conventional innovative approaches, including genetic engineering, induced systemic (ISR), priming, use natural compounds. Furthermore, we analyze underlying mechanisms involved in these methods, highlighting their potential advantages limitations. Through an understanding scientists agronomists can develop novel strategies combat effectively while minimizing environmental impact. Ultimately, this research offers valuable insights harnessing plant’s innate defense paves way practices agriculture.

β-Glucosidase VmGlu1 is required for toxin production and pathogenicity of Valsa mali

Phytopathology Research, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 7(1)

Опубликована: Янв. 23, 2025

Abstract Flavonoids, serving as crucial secondary metabolites, are widely distributed in plants and play a key role inhibiting microbial growth, protecting from pathogen invasion, conserving energy. Our previous study revealed that the β-glucosidase VmGlu2 effectively catalyzes degradation of phloridzin, typical flavonoid apples, regulates pathogenic process Valsa mali . However, exhibits lower efficiency degrading rutin, another characteristic apples. In this study, we found expression level gene VmGlu1 was induced by 9.42-fold following rutin treatment, possessed capability to degrade both but under same conditions, showed distinct preference for degradation, with an initial rate 8.66 times higher than VmGlu2. Targeted deletion resulted 99.32% reduction pycnidia production, nearly 33% decrease toxin significant pathogenicity on apple twigs leaves. Furthermore, verified exhibit functional redundancy toxin-related activity, generating double-deletion mutants. The results provide valuable insights into roles VmGlus interaction V. during infection process.

In the natural environment, plants are simultaneously exposed to multivariable abiotic and biotic stresses. Typical stresses changes in temperature, light intensity quality, water stress (drought, flood), microelements availability, salinity, air pollutants, others. Biotic caused by other organisms, such as pathogenic bacteria viruses or parasites. This review presents current state-of-the-art knowledge on programmed cell death cross-tolerance phenomena its conditional molecular physiological regulators, which regulate plant acclimation, defense, developmental responses. It highlights role of absorbed energy excess dissipation heat induction chloroplast retrograde phytohormonal, electrical, reactive oxygen species signaling. also discusses how systemic- network-acquired acclimation acquired systemic resistance mutually regulated demonstrates non-photochemical quenching phenomenon.
