Editorial: Beneficial effects of fungal endophytes in major agricultural crops
Endophytic microorganisms are those that can dwell within plant tissues without any external sign of infection or other harmful effects on the host plants (Burragoni and Jeon, 2021). In recent decades, the important role ... -
Editorial: Drought stress in legumes
Plants are challenged by diverse environmental constraints, among which drought stress is increasingly important. Meteorological models predict an increase in the areas prone to drought in the future. Legumes are important ... -
Effect of nutritional factors and copper on the regulation of laccase enzyme production in Pleurotus ostreatus
This research aimed to establish the relationship between carbon–nitrogen nutritional factors and copper sulfate on laccase activity (LA) by Pleurotus ostreatus. Culture media composition was tested to choose the nitrogen ... -
Effect of volatile and non-volatile metabolites from Leptosphaeria maculans on tomato calli under abiotic stresses
Drought and salinity can be serious problems for agricultural productivity in certain planet areas. Leptosphaeria maculans is the causative agent of the blackleg in crucifer plants. In this work, a novel methodology for ... -
Effector-triggered susceptibility by the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae
Rice blast, the most destructive disease of cultivated rice world-wide, is caused by the filamentous fungus Magnaporthe oryzae. To cause disease in plants, M. oryzae secretes a diverse range of effector proteins to suppress ... -
Effects of several UV-protective substances on the persistence of the insecticidal activity of the Alphabaculovirus of Chrysodeixis chalcites (ChchNPV-TF1) on banana (Musa acuminata, Musaceae, Colla) under laboratory and open-field conditions
Alphabaculovirus of Chrysodeixis chalcites (ChchNPV-TF1) has been investigated as a useful bioinsecticide against C. chalcites (Esper) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in banana crops. This study investigated the effects of several ... -
Endophytic fungi as direct plant growth promoters for sustainable agricultural production
Current rates of population growth require the development of new agricultural strategies to feed the world human and livestock. The massive use of agricultural chemicals causes serious damage to the environment, and to ... -
Endophytic fungi from kale (Brassica oleracea var. acephala) modify roots-glucosinolate profile and promote plant growth in cultivated Brassica species. First description of Pyrenophora gallaeciana
Endophytic fungi of crops can promote plant growth through various mechanisms of action (i.e., improve nutrient uptake and nutrient use efficiency, and produce and modulate plant hormones). The genus Brassica includes ... -
Enhancement of glyphosate efficacy on Amaranthus palmeri by exogenous quinate application
Glyphosate is a widely used herbicide targeting the enzyme 5-enolpyruvylshikimate 3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) in the aromatic amino acid biosynthesis pathway (shikimate pathway) and provoking accumulation of quinate, a ... -
Environment and density-dependency explain the fine-scale aggregation of tree recruits before and after thinning in a mixed forest of Southern Europe
Thinning in forest management primarily reduces the density of trees and alters the patchiness and spatial complexity of environmental factors and individual interactions between plant recruits. At fine spatial scales, ... -
ERF-VII transcription factors induce ethanol fermentation in response to amino acid biosynthesis-inhibiting herbicides
Herbicides inhibiting either aromatic or branched-chain amino acid biosynthesis trigger similar physiological responses in plants, despite their different mechanism of action. Both types of herbicides are known to activate ... -
Evaluation of a crop rotation with biological inhibition potential to avoid N2O emissions in comparison with synthetic nitrification inhibition
Agriculture has increased the release of reactive nitrogen to the environment due to crops’ low nitrogen-use efficiency (NUE) after the application of nitrogen-fertilisers. Practices like the use of stabilized-fertilisers ... -
Evidences towards deciphering the mode of action of dimethylpyrazole-based nitrification inhibitors in soil and pure cultures of Nitrosomonas europaea
Background: Agriculture relies on the intensive use of synthetic nitrogen (N) fertilizers to maximize crop yields, which has led to the transformation of agricultural soils into high-nitrifying environments. Nevertheless, ... -
Expansion of the global RNA virome reveals diverse clades of bacteriophages
High-throughput RNA sequencing offers broad opportunities to explore the Earth RNA virome. Mining 5,150 diverse metatranscriptomes uncovered >2.5 million RNA virus contigs. Analysis of >330,000 RNA-dependent RNA polymerases ... -
Filamentous fungi as biocontrol agents in olive (Olea europaea L.) diseases: mycorrhizal and endophytic fungi
Olive (Olea europaea) is a crop of great agronomic, economic and cultural interest for the Mediterranean Basin, although the increase in world demand for olive oil is expanding its cultivation by other countries in the ... -
First study on the root endophytic fungus Trichoderma hamatum as an entomopathogen: development of a fungal bioinsecticide against cotton leafworm (Spodoptera littoralis)
Cotton leaf worm (Spodoptera littoralis) is a pest that produces important losses in horticultural and ornamental crops in greenhouse, being classified as quarantine pest A2 by EPPO. One of the strategies proposed to control ... -
Functional improvement of human cardiotrophin 1 produced in tobacco chloroplasts by co-expression with plastid thioredoxin m
Human cardiotrophin 1 (CT1), a cytokine with excellent therapeutic potential, was previously expressed in tobacco chloroplasts. However, the growth conditions required to reach the highest expression levels resulted in an ... -
Fungal endophytes of Brassicaceae: molecular interactions and crop benefits
Brassicaceae family includes an important group of plants of great scientific interest, e.g., the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, and of economic interest, such as crops of the genus Brassica (Brassica oleracea, Brassica ... -
Generation of variability in Chrysodeixis includens nucleopolyhedrovirus (ChinNPV): the role of a single variant
The mechanisms generating variability in viruses are diverse. Variability allows baculoviruses to evolve with their host and with changes in their environment. We examined the role of one genetic variant of Chrysodeixis ... -
Genes ptz and idi, coding for cytokinin biosynthesis enzymes, are essential for tumorigenesis and in planta growth by P. syringae pv. savastanoi NCPPB 3335
The phytopathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas syringae pv. savastanoi elicits aerial tumors on olive plants and is also able to synthesize large amounts of auxins and cytokinins. The auxin indoleacetic acid was shown to be ...
