Entomopathogenic fungi have the ability to both directly kill insect pests and act as plant endophytic fungi to impact plant growth and development. Despite this, the widespread endophytic use of these fungi in tea plants (Camellia sinensis) is still limited. This study examined how Beauveria bas...
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...
Drought is one of the most severe abiotic stresses. However, there is a lack of genetic evidence regarding whether and how plants coordinate the dynamic assembly of the microbiome in response to drought. Through the use of mutants with enhanced or reduced root hair densities (rsl2 rsl4, hairless ...
Several entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) species can colonize and establish symbiotic relationships with plants as endophytes, which affects crop growth under elevated carbon dioxide (eCO₂) concentrations. However, how EPF facilitates plants under eCO2 is poorly understood, especially at the transcri...
Grapes are one of the major fruit crops and they are cultivated in many dry environments. This study comprehensively characterizes the metabolic response of grape berries exposed to water deficit at different developmental stages. Increases of proline, branched-chain amino acids, phenylpropanoids...
