Open AccessThe cryptic microbiota of plant parasitic and entomopathogenic nematodes: diversity, effects on host biology and potential in plant protection
Many plant parasitic and entomopathogenic nematodes harbor specialized and obligate bacteria as well as viruses. Given their evolutionary persistence, such cryptic species are considered to play effective role...

Time-dependent effects of Pochonia chlamydosporia endophytism on gene expression profiles of colonized tomato roots
A transcriptome analysis was produced from tomato roots inoculated with the hyphomycete Pochonia chlamydosporia at three different times. Gene expression data were also yielded from fungus grown in vitro or endop...

Identification of tomato miRNAs responsive to root colonization by endophytic Pochonia chlamydosporia
The molecular mechanisms active during the endophytic phase of the fungus Pochonia chlamydosporia are still poorly understood. In particular, few data are available on the links between the endophyte and the root...

A Metagenomic Study on the Effect of Aboveground Plant Cover on Soil Bacterial Diversity
To study the effect of crop** and plant cover on soil microbial diversity, three adjacent sites characterized by the same soil, but differing for land use and cover, were sampled at Carovigno (Brindisi). Soi...

Regulatory Factors in Pochonia chlamydosporia-Induced Gene Expression
Soil microorganisms respond to, and release signals in, the rhizosphere, affecting root growth and their interactions with parasites. Understanding the gene expression patterns that are active in roots is fund...

Formulation of Pochonia chlamydosporia for Plant and Nematode Management
Soil microorganisms play a key role in plant nutrition and health, interacting with soil pests with beneficial, antagonistic effects. The nematode parasitic and root endophytic fungus Pochonia chlamydosporia has ...
