Trichoderma pubescens Elicit Induced Systemic Resistance in Tomato Challenged by Rhizoctonia solani

Said Behiry et al.

Summary: Rhizoctonia solani causes severe diseases in many plant species, particularly root rot in tomato plants. This study discovered for the first time that Trichoderma pubescens effectively controls R. solani in vitro and in vivo. T. pubescens significantly increases the development and resistance of tomato plants, as well as inhibiting the growth of R. solani.

Differences in Pathogenesis-Related Protein Expression and Polyphenolic Compound Accumulation Reveal Insights into Tomato-Pythium aphanidermatum Interaction

Seham A. Soliman et al.

Summary: Plant diseases caused by fungi significantly reduce crop yields and pose a threat to food security and agricultural sustainability. In this study, a fungus isolate called Pythium aphanidermatum was identified as the cause of damping-off disease in tomato plants. The expression of pathogenesis-related genes, including PR-1, PR-2, PR-3, PR-4, and PR-5, was quantitatively evaluated in response to P. aphanidermatum infection. The results showed that the expression levels of PR-1, PR-2, and PR-5 genes increased significantly at 5 days post-inoculation, while PR-4 gene expression decreased. The HPLC analysis revealed that Pythium infection led to a decrease in phenolic acids, such as chlorogenic and ellagic acids, in plant leaves.

Increasing Taxa Sampling Provides New Insights on the Phylogenetic Relationship Between Eriobotrya and Rhaphiolepis

Zhanghong Dong et al.

Summary: This study conducted phylogenetic analyses on nrDNA of Eriobotrya and Rhaphiolepis, and found both genera to be monophyletic. The results are consistent with key morphological features such as the persistent sepals in Eriobotrya, highlighting the importance of increased sampling in providing a more robust phylogeny.
