Enhanced Endophytic Colonization of Flavobacterium Promotes Plant Resistance to Fusarium Wilt

ABSTRACT Microbial taxa in the soil microbiome with specific ecological functions play crucial roles in plant health. Flavobacterium is found closely associated with physiological functions that promote plant growth and enhance disease resistance. While cooperative interactions mediated by metabolite exchange can stabi...

Biocontrol of watermelon Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum with Corallococcus sp. EGB

Watermelon Fusarium wilt is a severe soil-borne disease that threatens continuous watermelon production. Effective disease control depends on the differentiation of pathogen races, the accumulation of soil-borne inoculum, and disturbances in the soil bacterial community caused by continuous cropping. In this study, a p...

Optimized Protoplasts Preparation of Fungus Magnaporthe oryzae by Novel Myxolase F Lyase

Rice blast disease is one of most devastating fungal diseases caused by Magnaporthe oryzae. The preparation and transformation of protoplasm are of vital importance for understanding the pathogenic mechanism of M. oryzae and achieving the control of rice blast disease. In this study, we aim to optimize conditions for p...
