Fungi hijack a plant apoplastic endoglucanase to release a ROS scavenging β-glucan decasaccharide to subvert immune responses

B. Chandrasekar, A. Wanke, S. Wawra, P. Saake, L. Mahdi, N. Charura, M. Neidert, M. Malisic, M. Thiele, M. Dama, M. Pauly, A. Zuccaro

The paper identifies a fungal extracellular polysaccharide matrix component, β-1,3;1,6-glucan decasaccharide, released by a plant enzyme that suppresses plant immunity and enhances fungal colonization.

The fungal root endophyte Serendipita vermifera displays inter-kingdom synergistic beneficial effects with the microbiota in Arabidopsis thaliana and barley

L. K. Mahdi, S. Miyauchi, C. Uhlmann, R. Garrido-Oter, G. Langen, S. Wawra, Y. Niu, S. Robertson-Albertyn, D. Bulgarelli, J. E. Parker, A. Zuccaro

This study shows that the fungal endophyte Serendipita vermifera synergizes with bacterial microbiota to protect Arabidopsis and barley from pathogens, with benefits dependent on host and microbiota composition.
