    Seed tuber imprinting shapes the next-generation potato microbiome

    Potato seed tubers are colonized and inhabited by soil-borne microbes, that can affect the performance of the emerging daughter plant in the next season. In this study, we investigated the intergenerational in...

    A tripartite bacterial-fungal-plant symbiosis in the mycorrhiza-shaped microbiome drives plant growth and mycorrhization

    Plant microbiomes play crucial roles in nutrient cycling and plant growth, and are shaped by a complex interplay between plants, microbes, and the environment. The role of bacteria as mediators of the 400-mill...

    Obligate biotroph downy mildew consistently induces near-identical protective microbiomes in Arabidopsis thaliana

    Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis (Hpa) is an obligately biotrophic downy mildew that is routinely cultured on Arabidopsis thaliana hosts that harbour complex microbiomes. We hypothesized that the culturing procedur...

    Coumarin biosynthesis genes are required after foliar pathogen infection for the creation of a microbial soil-borne legacy that primes plants for SA-dependent defenses

    Plants deposit photosynthetically-fixed carbon in the rhizosphere, the thin soil layer directly around the root, thereby creating a hospitable environment for microbes. To manage the inhabitants of this nutrie...

    Pseudomonas simiae WCS417: star track of a model beneficial rhizobacterium

    Since the 1980s, numerous mutualistic Pseudomonas spp. strains have been used in studies on the biology of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and their interactions with host plants. In 1988, a strain fr...

    Collection of Sterile Root Exudates from Foliar Pathogen-Inoculated Plants

    In nature and agriculture, plants interact with an astonishing number of microbes, collectively referred to as the “plant microbiome.” Roots are a microbial hotspot where beneficial plant-microbe interactions ...

    Soil-Borne Legacies of Disease in Arabidopsis thaliana

    The rhizosphere microbiome of plants is essential for plant growth and health. Recent studies have shown that upon infection of leaves with a foliar pathogen, the composition of the root microbiome is altered ...

    Root exudates drive the soil-borne legacy of aboveground pathogen infection

    Plants are capable of building up beneficial rhizosphere communities as is evidenced by disease-suppressive soils. However, it is not known how and why soil bacterial communities are impacted by plant exposure...

    Effects of the mushroom-volatile 1-octen-3-ol on dry bubble disease

    Dry bubble disease caused by Lecanicillium fungicola is a persistent problem in the cultivation of the white button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus). Because control is hampered by chemicals becoming less effective, ...
