Genotype-Specific Root Morphology and Metabolic Traits Shape Bacterial Communities and Tolerance to Fusarium Root Rot in Wheat

Omar Hafidi, Marie Simonin, Florent Magot, Munakata Yuka, Alan Kergunteuil, Romain Larbat, Jérémy Grosjean, Alain Hehn, Mathieu Barret, Sophie Slezack‐Deschaumes

This study shows that wheat genotypes with different tolerance to Fusarium root rot influence bacterial communities and root traits, which are linked to metabolite profiles and disease resistance.

Welcome pathogens: transient heat dampens immune responses to acibenzolar-S-methyl in apple plants

Erwan Chavonet, Bao‐huynh Nguyen, Christelle Heintz, R. Cournol, Jitka Široká, Ondřej Novák, Romain Larbat, Matthieu Gaucher, M.N. Brisset, Florent Pantin, Alexandre Degrave

This study shows that heatwaves reduce the effectiveness of acibenzolar-S-methyl in protecting apple plants against pathogens by dampening immune responses and promoting pathogen-friendly conditions.
