Vascular fungi alter the apoplastic purinergic signaling in plants by deregulating the homeostasis of extracellular ATP and its metabolite adenosine

This study identifies adenosine as a key elicitor secreted by the vascular fungus Fusarium oxysporum that modulates plant susceptibility to fungal colonization by altering eATP-mediated immune responses.

An invasive plant species enhances biodiversity in overgrazed pastures but inhibits its recovery in protected areas

This study shows that an invasive plant increases biodiversity in overgrazed pastures but prevents recovery in protected areas, disrupting ecosystem productivity and resilience.
