This study compares soil chemical properties and root-associated bacterial communities between Welsh onion and sweet potato under the same field conditions, finding differences in soil chemistry and microbial composition.

This study identifies Cdc25 as essential for hyphal fusion and symbiotic infection in Epichloë festucae, showing its role in activating RasB and coordinating with the MAPK cascade.

This study shows that the horizontally acquired IbACS gene in sweet potato affects rhizosphere microbiota and supports plant growth in nutrient-poor soil.

The paper tests a mixture of DAMP- and MAMP-oligosaccharides on okra and tomato, showing improved root growth, biomass, and fruit yield in greenhouse conditions.

This study shows that Oligo-Mix, a mixture of DAMP/MAMP oligosaccharides, promotes cucumber growth and enhances resistance to fungal pathogens by inducing defense responses and structural reinforcement.

This study shows Botrytis cinerea detoxifies rishitin through multiple oxidative pathways, enabling tolerance and reducing toxicity to other pathogens.
