Review: "Unseen Struggles: How Plant-Parasitic Nematodes Manipulate ROS Signaling in Host Plants," by Anil Kumar, Chunoti Changwal, and Thomas J. Baum: https://doi.org/10.1094/MPMI-11-25-0161-FI
Findings from Komal Pervaiz et al. provide new molecular insights into how #Magnaporthe oryzae responds to antagonistic barley-associated bacteria under in vitro conditions: https://doi.org/10.1094/MPMI-11-25-0158-FI
The root-lesion nematode #Pratylenchus vulnus parasitizes a wide range of hosts, including woody perennials such as walnut and grapevine, significantly damaging roots and reducing yields. Dadong Dai et al. present a high-quality, chromosome-level genome assembly of P. vulnus: https://bit.ly/4u48AiZ
Csaba Gellért et al. highlight how legumes employ elements of their immune system for the negative selection of rhizobia via processes resembling the gene-for-gene model of effector-triggered immunity in plant–pathogen interactions. Read the Interactions Review to learn more: https://bit.ly/49LmYo9
NEW: Explore the latest MPMI focus issue, "Symbiotic and Pathogenic Interactions in the Rhizosphere": https://apsjournals.apsnet.org/toc/mpmi/39/2

Using whole-genome resequencing data from 1,110 soybean accessions, Sushil Satish Chhapekar et al. identified novel allelic variation and unique haplotypes in diverse soybean germplasm that contribute to resistance against soybean cyst nematode: https://bit.ly/4eEqF2q
Pei-Cheng Huang et al. identified a novel rhizobacterium with a broad host range that promotes growth and systemic resistance across multiple plant species in a jasmonic acid-dependent, ketol-driven manner. Learn more: https://doi.org/10.1094/MPMI-10-25-0142-FI
Plant resistance (R) and pathogen avirulence (Avr) gene interaction are central to pathogen recognition and disease resistance. Eric C. Pereira et al. identified an Avr candidate, AvrPstB48, that triggered defense responses in 16 out of 24 cultivars tested: https://bit.ly/4bu7o0u
Interactions between plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) and other phytopathogens can lead to disease complexes. Alison Blundell et al. discuss specific aspects of PPN life cycles that may facilitate disease complex formation: https://doi.org/10.1094/MPMI-10-25-0154-FI
