TL;DR

This review synthesizes current understanding of phytoplasma–plant interactions, covering phytoplasma biology, genome evolution, and the infection cycle across plant and insect vector hosts, and examines the molecular functions of key effectors, SAP11, SAP54/PHYL1, SAP05, TENGU, SWP1, and recently identified virulence factors.

Non-coding RNAs: cross-kingdom regulators of plant-virus-vector interactions in complex agroecosystems.

Plant viruses depend on insect vectors for dissemination in complex agroecosystems and often exploit plant and insect physiology to enhance transmission. This review synthesizes recent advances in understanding cross-kingdom exchange of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) as a central mechanism shaping plant-virus-vector interact...

Hormonal crosstalk at the plant–microbiome interface governing plant immunity under combined biotic and abiotic stresses

Plant immunity is orchestrated through an intricate network of signaling pathways that enables plants to perceive, respond to, and adapt to a wide range of biotic and abiotic challenges. Increasing evidence indicates that phytohormones not only regulate immune responses but also mediate dynamic interactions between pla...

Phytohormones in fungi: inter-kingdom modulators or fungal self-controlling elements?

Fungal phytohormones regulate development, growth, and metabolism, thereby playing key functions in their ecological context and concluding that fungi have an intrinsic and autonomous hormonal physiology that underpins their ecological adaptability and success.

Decoding the rhizosphere immune signaling network: Microbiome-driven modulation of plant immunity and disease resistance.

Classical plant immunity models rely on pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) and effector-triggered immunity (ETI), yet these frameworks largely overlook the rhizosphere microbiome as a functional determinant of disease resistance. Plants act as holobionts, their root exudates comprising flavonoids, coumarins, benzoxazinoi...
