Abstract Soils are the primary environmental reservoir of plant pathogens impacting food production and ecosystem productivity worldwide. Yet, some soils can also suppress pathogens through environmental and microbial re...

Abstract The soil bacterium Pseudomonas putida injects toxic proteins into neighbouring competitors, including resilient phytopathogens, using the Type VI secretion system (T6SS). The secretion of toxins endows P. putida...

To improve early detection of invasive tree pathogens, foliar putative pathogenic fungal communities in reciprocal ex patria sentinel plantings across three continents were examined. Geographic location and tree species ...

Abstract Acquired immunity in plants, including systemic acquired resistance (SAR) and induced systemic resistance (ISR), plays a central role in protecting crops against a wide spectrum of pathogens and pests, ranging f...

Abstract Top-down trophic interactions are major drivers of microbiome dynamics, yet their outcomes are difficult to predict and their consequences for pathogen control remain unclear. We combine synthetic bacterial comm...

Abstract The escalating antibiotic resistance in oral pathogens, particularly Streptococcus mutans, necessitates the discovery of alternative bioactive scaffolds. While Piper crocatum (red betel) is an ethnobotanically s...

One way that pathogens develop resistance to pharmaceuticals is by forming biofilms, which are 3-D communities of bacteria. As a result, there is considerable interest in identifying new antibiofilm agents from nature th...

The composition of the plant microbiome is shaped not only by the host plant and abiotic environmental factors, but also by intermicrobial cooperation and competition. Plant pathogens, therefore, must remain competitive ...

Abstract Many pests and diseases affect agricultural and commercial crops, resulting in potential yield losses. It has been shown that microbial biocontrol agents, such as Bacillus species, are efficient alternatives to ...

Plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) are a serious threat to global food security, with estimated annual losses exceeding $173 billion. Beyond their direct damage, interactions between PPNs and other phytopathogens can lead ...

Abstract The essential oil (EO) of Tanacetum argyrophyllum harvested from Armenian flora (2080 m above sea level), characterized by a eucalyptol–camphor chemotype, and was investigated for its antibacterial activity, ...

To explore more potential fungicides with new scaffolds, 10 norbornene derivatives containing thiourea group were designed, synthesized and assayed for inhibitory activity against three plant pathogenic fungi. The prelim...

Background: Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma species are understudied opportunistic pathogens that infect humans, animals and plants. These infections are often asymptomatic, which, together with fastidious growth requireme...

The microbiota of plants is composed of a large diversity of microbes, engaging with their host via various types of interactions, from beneficial to detrimental. Consequently, how plants perceive mutualistic from pathog...

Cultivated peanut is susceptible to several highly damaging pests, pathogens and abiotic stressors, largely due to its very narrow genetic base. However, a ploidy barrier exists between cultivated and highly resistant wi...

Abstract Background Salvia fruticosa (Lamiaceae) is traditionally used to treat gastrointestinal (GIT) issues, stomach and abdominal pain, and ulcers. In this work, we aimed to extract essential oils (EOs) from the aeria...
