#rhizosphere
#Agroathelia rolfsii causes stem rot in multiple crops. Naveen Arakkal Thaiparambil et al. demonstrated the multifaceted potential of #Trichoderma virens DM5 as an effective and sustainable agent for managing tomato southern blight caused by A. rolfsii. https://doi.org/10.1094/MPMI-07-25-0075-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
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
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
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
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
