Effects of elevated ozone on bacterial communities inhabiting the phyllo- and endo-spheres of rice plants.

TL;DR: The findings demonstrate the potential of g-C3N4 to enhance plant growth and minimize the Cd/As-induced toxicity in rice and provide a promising nanoenabled strategy for remediating heavy metal(loid)-contaminated soil.

Abstract: Abstract Single pathogen‐targeted disease management measure has shown drawbacks in field efficacy under the scenario of global change. An in‐depth understanding of plant pathogenesis will provide a promising solution but faces the challenges of the emerging paradigm involving the plant microbiome. While the beneficial impact of the plant microbiome is well characterized, their potential role in facilitating pathological processes has so far remained largely overlooked. To address these unsolved controversies and emerging challenges, we hereby highlight the pathobiome, the disease‐assisting portion hidden in the plant microbiome, in the plant pathogenesis paradigm. We review the detrimental actions mediated by the pathobiome at multiple scales and further discuss how natural and human triggers result in the prevalence of the plant pathobiome, which would probably provide a clue to the mitigation of plant disease epidemics. Collectively, the article would advance the current insight into plant pathogenesis and also pave a new way to cope with the upward trends of plant disease by designing the pathobiome‐targeted measure.

TL;DR: The study of the interactions between plant VOC emissions and phyllospheric microbiotas is of great interest and deserves more attention.

TL;DR: The methodological approaches to unravel the composition and function of belowground microbiota, the factors influencing their interaction with tree crops, their benefits and harms are summarized, with a focus on representative examples of Biological Control Agents used against relevant biotic constraints of tree crops.

TL;DR: It is shown that monoterpene-associated responses are propagated in feed-forward loops involving the systemic acquired resistance (SAR) signaling components pipecolic acid, glycerol-3-phosphate, and LEGUME LECTIN-LIKE PROTEIN1 (LLP1).

TL;DR: A straightforward, high-throughput method as thioglycolic acid lignin from rice straw using disposable plastic microtubes, TissueLyser, and a UV microplate reader is described, confirming that 20 mg of dried material from rice plants is adequate for stable determination of the lignIn content.
