Endophytic fungi and phytohormone signaling can jointly influence growth–defense trade-offs in medicinal plants by reprogramming metabolism in a stage-dependent manner. To elucidate how the endophytic fungus Trichoderma longibrachiatum FG and exogenous salicylic acid (SA) and methyl jasmonat...

Rural communities in resource-limited settings are exposed to seasonal patterns in food insecurity. The pre- and early post-natal period is a key developmental window, sensitive to nutritional availability and quality. While season of birth has been associated with differences in epigenetic, deve...

Seed development dedicates to reserve synthesis and accumulation and uncovering its genetic and biochemical mechanisms has been a major research focus. Although proteomic and transcriptomic analyses revealed dynamic changes of genes and enzymes involved, the information regarding concomitant meta...

Bacterial growth substrates influence a variety of biological functions, including the biosynthesis and regulation of lipid intermediates. The extent of this rewiring is not well understood nor has it been considered in the context of virally-infected cells. Here, we use a one-host-two-temperate ...

Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) is known to be a mutually beneficial plant-fungal symbiosis; however, the effect of mycorrhization is heavily dependent on multiple biotic and abiotic factors. Therefore, for the proper employment of such plant-fungal symbiotic systems in agriculture, a detailed underst...

The vasculature represents a highly plastic compartment, capable of switching from a quiescent to an active proliferative state during angiogenesis. Metabolic reprogramming in endothelial cells (ECs) thereby is crucial to cover the increasing cellular energy demand under growth conditions. Here w...

Gut microbiota can modulate nutrient metabolism, considerably affecting host growth and development. However, mechanisms by which gut microbiota regulate large yellow croaker (LYC; Larimichthys crocea) growth remain unclear. We assessed gut contents of fast-growing male (IWHM) and female (IWHF) L...

BACKGROUND: The coevolution and interaction between plants and microorganisms have long been a subject of significant research interest. Dark septate endophytes (DSE) have garnered great attention in contemporary research due to their functional diversity, in vitro cultivation ab...
