(Elsevier, 2023-06)The rhizosphere is a chemically complex environment that harbors a strikingly diverse microbial community. The past few decades have seen a rapid growth in the body of literature on plant–microbe–microbe interactions ...
-
(Elsevier, 2023-10)There is a continuous arms race between pathogens and their host plants. However, successful pathogens, such as phytopathogenic oomycetes, secrete effector proteins to manipulate host defense responses for disease ...
-
(Elsevier, 2023-05)The nematode Deladenus siricidicola is used for the biocontrol of the invasive woodwasp, Sirex noctilio, that infests Pinus globally. In New Zealand, D. siricidicola was accidentally introduced along with S. noctilio, after ...
-
(Wiley, 2024-04)Plant cells undergo extensive transcriptional reprogramming following pathogen infection, with these reprogramming patterns becoming more complex when pathogens, such as hemibiotrophs, exhibit different lifestyles. These ...
-
(Springer, 2023-04)Seven viroid species and one putative viroid species have been reported to infect grapevine namely, hop stunt viroid (HSVd), grapevine yellow speckle viroid 1 (GYSVd-1), grapevine yellow speckle viroid 2 (GYSVd-2), Australian ...
-
(Springer, 2024-04)Phycobilisomes (PBs) play an important role in cyanobacterial photosynthesis. They capture light and transfer excitation energy to the photosynthetic reaction centres. PBs are also central to some photoprotective and ...
-
(Elsevier, 2024-06)The soil bacteria are diverse in nature both physiologically and phylogenetically with spatial variations within the soil microenvironments. Plant roots secrete organic substances called root exudates which benefit bacteria ...
-
(Springer, 2023-08)Spondyliaspis cf. plicatuloides and Glycaspis brimblecombei (Hemiptera: Aphalaridae) are invasive insect pests of Eucalyptus, native to Australia. The insects feed on eucalypt sap, and both psyllid species exhibit clear ...
-
(NISC (Pty) Ltd and Informa UK Limited (trading as Taylor and Francis Group), 2024)Several economically important pathogens, including species of Chrysoporthe, pose a threat to the rapidly expanding eucalypt plantation industry in Southeast Asia. During 2019 disease surveys in Riau and Kalimantan ...

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? A call for community participation in the governance of the SeqCode (Elsevier, 2024-05)Codes of nomenclature that provide well-regulated and stable frameworks for the naming of taxa are a fundamental underpinning of biological research. These Codes themselves require systems that govern their administration, ...
-
(Elsevier, 2024-05)South Africa is well-known for the diversity of its legumes and their nitrogen-fixing bacterial symbionts. However, in contrast to their plant partners, remarkably few of these microbes (collectively referred to as rhizobia) ...
-
(MDPI, 2023-06-29)South Africa is associated with a centuries-old viticultural industry, accompanied by a diverse range of wine and table grape cultivars and an extensive history of pervasive introductions of vine material and associated ...
-
A critically endangered Proteaceae in the Cape florisitic region threatened by an invasive pathogen (South African National Biodiversity Institute, 2023-03-29)BACKGROUND : Sorocephalus imbricatus (Thunb.) R.Br. is a range-restricted species endemic to the Cape Floristic Region (CFR), South Africa. It is currently classified as Critically Endangered in accordance with the IUCN ...
-
(MDPI, 2023-06-09)Lecanosticta acicola is one of the most damaging species affecting Pinus radiata plantations in Spain. Favourable climatic conditions and unknown endogenous factors of the pathogen and host led to a situation of high ...
-
(MDPI, 2023-03-29)Fungi from the Teratosphaeriaceae (Mycosphaerellales; Dothideomycetes; Ascomycota) have a wide range of lifestyles. Among these are a few species that are endolichenic fungi. However, the known diversity of endolichenic ...
-
(MDPI, 2023-06-19)Hybridization is recognized as a notable driver of evolution and adaptation, which closely related species may exploit in the form of incomplete reproductive barriers. Three closely related species of Ceratocystis (i.e., ...
-
(MDPI, 2023-04-06)Phyllosticta spp. are important pathogens of citrus plants. Several Phyllosticta species associated with Citrus species grown in China have been reported; however, the relative prevalences of individual species and the ...
-
(Elsevier, 2024-02)Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are obligate parasites of soil-dwelling insects and are used as biological control agents for many insect pests. These nematodes have a free-living third growth stage called infective ...
-
(BMC, 2023-11-08)A plant’s defense against pathogens involves an extensive set of phytohormone regulated defense signaling pathways. The salicylic acid (SA)-signaling pathway is one of the most well-studied in plant defense. The bulk of ...
-
(BMC, 2023-08-25)BACKGROUND : The complex systemic responses of tree species to fight pathogen infection necessitate attention due to the potential for yield protection in forestry. RESULTS : In this paper, both the localized and systemic ...
