The biosynthesis of secondary metabolites (SMs) in plants occurs various forms and amounts, their use modern medicine is widespread. Half the human necessities are derived from plant-based commodities, including fuel, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, building materials, food essentials. Many medicinal plant species utilized for therapeutic properties SMs content, but amount naturally occurring limited. Therefore, conventional novel strategies employed to enhance production bioactive components plants. Traditional methods cost-effective, easy, faster, produce fewer metabolites, while techniques such as metabolic pathways engineering, genome editing, transformation, biotechnology-based substitutions, synthetic biology more expensive offer valuable tools augmenting content. Optimizing culture media signalling involved presents an exciting opportunity increase quantity compounds present. This review summarizes different cultivation used class produced highlights benefits boosting synthesizing using techniques.

Plant pathogenic fungi hijack phosphate signaling with conserved enzymatic effectors

Science, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 387(6737), С. 955 - 962

Inorganic phosphate (Pi) is essential for life, and plant cells monitor Pi availability by sensing inositol pyrophosphate (PP-InsP) levels. In this work, we describe the hijacking of a conserved family Nudix hydrolase effectors from pathogenic Magnaporthe Colletotrichum fungi. Structural enzymatic analyses effector demonstrate that they selectively hydrolyze PP-InsP. Gene deletion experiments in oryzae, higginsianum, graminicola indicate PP-InsP hydrolysis substantially enhances disease symptoms diverse pathosystems. Further, show induces starvation signaling plants. Our study elucidates molecular mechanism, used multiple phytopathogenic fungi, manipulates highly pathway to exacerbate disease.

Phyllosphere microbiota: Community dynamics and its interaction with plant hosts

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Год журнала: 2020, Номер 63(2), С. 297 - 304

Опубликована: Дек. 24, 2020

Plants are colonized by various microorganisms in natural environments. While many studies have demonstrated key roles of the rhizosphere microbiota regulating biological processes such as nutrient acquisition and resistance against abiotic biotic challenges, less is known about role phyllosphere how it established maintained. This review provides an update on current understanding community assembly mechanisms which plants microbes establish for plant health.
