Endophytic Fungi of (Asteraceae): Dereplication of Crude Extracts, Antimicrobial Properties, and Identification of New Tetronic Acid Derivative Produced by .

Endophytic fungi are increasingly being recognized for their diverse metabolites that may exhibit antimicrobial properties. In our study, we isolated seven endophytic fungal strains from , which were identified as , , , , , and (with two isolates from the same species). Furthermore, the antimicrobial activity of the extracts was assessed, revealing that the extract from demonstrated activity against .

Heat Pre-Treatment Modified Host and Non-Host Interactions of Powdery Mildew with Barley Brassinosteroid Mutants and Wild Types.

High temperatures associated with climate change may increase the severity of plant diseases. This study investigated the effect of heat shock treatment on host and non-host barley powdery mildew interactions using brassinosteroid (BR) mutants of barley. Brassinosteroids are plant steroid hormones, but so far little is known about their role in plant-fungal interactions.

Manipulation of Senescence of Plants to Improve Biotic Stress Resistance.

The physiological state, i.e., senescence or juvenility, of plants and plant organs can have strong effect on their reactions to pathogen attacks.

Redox and Hormonal Changes in the Transcriptome of Grape () Berries during Natural Noble Rot Development.

Noble rot is a favorable form of the interaction between grape ( spp.) berries and the phytopathogenic fungus . The transcriptome pattern of grapevine cells subject to natural noble rot development in the historic Hungarian Tokaj wine region has not been previously published.
