Ecologically derived synthetic communities can provide robust plant benefits, yet generalizable rules for assembling multifunctional consortia remain limited. We hypothesized that a “top-down” community assembled from an ecological core would yield complementary functions and resilience superior ...
This study investigates the dual role of the Streptomyces-derived nucleoside Guvermectin (GV) in promoting plant growth and enhancing disease resistance. Multiomics analysis revealed that GV reprograms phenylalanine metabolism, leading to the accumulation of antimicrobial flavonoids. A key UDP-gl...
Beneficial association with symbiotic fungi helps improve the growth and fitness in most land plants, and shows great potential as biofertilizers in precision agriculture. Here, we demonstrated that a root fungal endophyte, Tinctoporellus species isolate AR8, enabled yield improvement in...
Background
Wheat crown rot (WCR) caused by Fusarium spp. lacks durable, sustainable control. Engineering the rhizosphere with defined synthetic microbial communities (SynComs) offers a route to combined disease suppression and growth promotion. We aimed to build a cross-kingdom SynCom and e...
