Durian leaves on 1-year-old seedlings were inoculated with mycelial plugs. Symptoms were observed within 24 h. The HV-isolate was more aggressive, leading to larger lesions, earlier and denser colonization, and higher sporulation. P. palmivora lifestyle related gene (PpEF1α, PpHmp1, PpCdc14, and PpOPEL) were expressed at a higher level in HV compared to LV. Local defense response showed intense accumulation of H2O2, with a stronger response to the HV. Callose deposition increased initially but declined after inoculation, with different diameters between isolates, but no significantly different intensity patterns. These findings provide insights into the P. palmivora-durian interaction, with potential applications in improving disease management strategies.","PeriodicalId":16830,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plant Interactions","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2023-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49101510","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The 33 CsPLCPs were classified into 9 subfamilies. Analysis of the cis-acting elements in their promoters indicated that CsPLCPs are responsive to various phytohormones and stressors. Further qPCR analysis indicated that several CsPLCPs were up-regulated during CLas infection. Subcellular localization analysis indicated that five CsPLCPs were localized to the cytoplasm and nucleus, while CsXBCP2 was localized only to the cytoplasm.

The main objective of this study was to test the effectiveness of halotolerant plant growth-promoting bacteria (H-PGPB) in improving grapevine salt stress tolerance. Grapevines grafted onto a salt-sensitive rootstock were inoculated with a consortium of H-PGPB. The substrate of half of the plants of each treatment was salinized up to 2 dS m−1. Plants grew for six days under these conditions, and afterward, NaCl was removed to assess plant recovery through growth, physiology, and canopy temperature measurements. Inoculation with H-PGPB had a positive effect on plant physiology, but after salt treatment, grapevines stopped their photosynthetic metabolism, leading to severe defoliation. Remarkably, after salt stress removal, inoculated plants re-sprouted faster, demonstrating that H-PGPB inoculation could be a good practice to increase vineyard resilience to salt stress.","PeriodicalId":16830,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plant Interactions","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2023-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43640185","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An efficient VWO control measure is the use of tolerant/resistant cultivars. Low information is available about olive secondary metabolites and its relationship with VWO tolerance. In this study, a comprehensive metabolic profiling of the roots of six olive cultivars differing in their level of tolerance/susceptibility to VWO was addressed. Potential changes in the metabolite profiles due to the presence of the pathogen were also assessed. A strong relationship between the quantitative basal composition of the root secondary metabolic profile and VWO tolerance/susceptibility of olive varieties was found. Tolerant cultivars showed higher content of secoiridoids, while the susceptible ones presented greater amounts of verbascoside and methoxypinoresinol glucoside. The presence of V. dahliae only caused few significant variations mostly restricted to the earliest times after inoculation. Thus, a rapid activation of biochemical-based root defense mechanisms was observed. Key policy highlights Quantitative differences of secondary metabolites in roots contribute to explain the tolerance/susceptibility of olive cultivars to Verticillium dahliae. Higher basal content of secoiridoids correlate with tolerance, while greater concentration of verbascoside and methoxypinoresinol glucoside seem to be linked to susceptibility. Few alterations are observed in the olive root metabolic profiles in the presence of the pathogen. Changes in the root metabolic profile occur at early times after pathogen inoculation which suggests a rapid activation of a biochemical-based defense response against V. dahliae.","PeriodicalId":16830,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plant Interactions","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2023-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41970604","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drought and host genotype impact rhizo-communities, and host-mediated selection strategies may be used to obtain a drought-adapted rhizomicrobiome that can be a source for PGPR isolation.
