This study shows that the fungal endophyte Trichoderma harzianum reprograms the tomato polyamine metabolic network to enhance herbivore resistance.

This study shows mycorrhizal tomato plants are more sensitive to damage signals, leading to primed defense responses and increased resistance to Botrytis cinerea.

The paper identifies StPTI5 as a transcription factor that regulates plant-microbe interactions by modulating immune responses and microbial colonization in potato.

This study shows that ethylene signaling is essential for mycorrhiza-induced resistance in tomato against chewing herbivores, revealing hormone crosstalk as central to this defense mechanism.
