Fast-forward breeding and rapid delivery systems for food security : Research for Agriculture

The University of Western Australia’s Institute of Agriculture has collaborated with international researchers to develop a roadmap to fast-forward breeding for accelerated crop improvement and rapid delivery systems, which will lead to a food-secure world. Two papers, recently published in Trends in Genetics and Nature Biotechnology, were the result of a Perth-based workshop organised by […]

Fungal transplants from close relatives help endangered plants fight off disease

Endophytic fungi, which reside inside leaves, often protect plants from pathogens.  In a paper recently published in Phytobiomes Journal, Chock along with fellow University of Hawaii researchers Benjamin Hoyt and Anthony Amend, treated E. koolauensis plants with endophytic fungi isolated from the leaves of closely related plant species, then assessed the resistance of these inoculated plants against myrtle rust.  Although some individual strains of fungi seemed to decrease the pathogen severity, plants were most protected against the pathogen when treated with a complex mixture of microbes prepared from homogenized leaves of these related plants.

Bacteria stunt with established plant-soil feedback theory

‘What I find most alluring about soil life is that you can steer it,’ researcher Martijn Bezemer of the Institute Biology Leiden (IBL) reveals. ‘You can ask: What do you want? And then I can transform the soil into something you need. At least, that is what we thought.’

Hidden mechanisms of apple watercore formation

Watercore apples with enhanced sweet flavors are preferred in most Asian countries, although the underlying mechanisms of the transparent water-soaked symptom formation remained unknown. A collaborative research team conducted site-specific cellular analyses in conjunction with two principally different osmometers to reveal the cellular mechanisms related to the tissue appearance. This research team consists of members from Ehime University, the National Agriculture and Food Research Organization, Japan, and the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina.
