Phylloplane bacterial exometabolites suppress Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. punicae: Metabolomic and genomic insights for bacterial blight management in pomegranate.

Bacterial blight, caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. punicae, remains a significant constraint to pomegranate cultivation, necessitating sustainable alternatives to chemical and antibiotic-based control. In this study, 24 epiphytic bacterial strains isolated from the pomegranate phylloplane were evaluated for their biocontrol potential through integrated metabolomic, volatilomic, in vitro, and greenhouse analyses.

Exometabolome of Pantoea targets pathogen associated scytalone dehydratase and XopQ for suppression of foliar blast and bacterial blight in rice.

Pantoea species, known for their metabolic versatility and ability to thrive in the phyllosphere, hold promise for sustainable crop protection. This study investigated the exometabolomic activity of three leaf-epiphytic Pantoea species against Magnaporthe oryzae (rice blast) and Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (bacterial blight).

Multi-omics characterization of aflatoxigenic Aspergillus from grains and rhizosphere of maize across agroecological zones of Cameroon.

Maize (Zea mays L.) is the most widely consumed cereal in Cameroon but is frequently contaminated with aflatoxins, posing significant economic, environmental, and health risks. These challenges hinder progress toward the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Cameroon's 2020-2030 National Development Strategy.

Microbiome succession on the pomegranate phylloplane during bacterial blight dysbiosis: Functional implications for blight suppression.

Bacterial blight of pomegranate caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. punicae poses significant challenges to sustainable cultivation, necessitating eco-friendly management strategies, and this study explores the role of the phylloplane microbiome in disease suppression through metabarcoding, traditional microbiology, and antibacterial screening of microbial candidates. Here, we mapped the phylloplane microbiome of pomegranate cultivar 'Bhagwa' during bacterial blight development using metabarcoding sequencing (2443,834 reads), traditional microbiological methods (nutrient-rich and minimal media), and scanning electron microscopy.

Rice foliar-adapted Pantoea species: Promising microbial biostimulants enhancing rice resilience against foliar pathogens, Magnaporthe oryzae and Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae.

Foliar fungal blast and bacterial leaf blight have significant impacts on rice production, and their management through host resistance and agrochemicals has proven inadequate. To achieve their sustainable management, innovative approaches like leveraging the foliar microbiome, which collaborates with plants and competes against pathogens, are essential. In our study, we isolated three Pantoea strains (P.

Enhancing defense against rice blast disease: Unveiling the role of leaf endophytic firmicutes in antifungal antibiosis and induced systemic resistance.

Rice remains the primary staple for more than half of the world's population, yet its cultivation faces numerous challenges, including both biotic and abiotic stresses. One significant obstacle is the prevalence of rice blast disease, which substantially diminishes productivity and increases cultivation costs due to frequent fungicide applications. Consequently, the presence of fungicide residues in rice raises concerns about compliance with international maximum residue limits (MRLs).

Antiepileptic drug-induced severe granulomatous interstitial nephritis.

Granulomatous interstitial nephritis (GIN) is a type of tubulointerstitial nephritis characterised by tubulointerstitial infiltration of mononuclear cells and eosinophils. It accounts for about 6% of all tubulointerstitial nephritis and is detected in ∼0.5%-0.

Rice leaf endophytic : Antifungal actinobacterium confers immunocompetence against rice blast disease.

Genetic and functional characteristics of rice leaf endophytic actinobacterial member, are described. Morphotyping, multilocus sequence analysis and transmission electron microscopy indicated the species identity of the endophytic bacterium, OsEnb-ALM-D18, as . The endophytic showed probiotic solubilization of plant nutrients/minerals, produced hydrolytic enzyme/phytohormones, and showed endophytism in rice seedlings.
