The present study demonstrated the differences in the seed metabolome and mycobiome of two Coss accessions with different resistance to brown rust and powdery mildew. We hypothesized that the seeds of resistant accession k-1958 ssp. can contain a larger number of metabolites with antifungal activity compared with the seeds of susceptible ssp k-340, which will determine differences in the seed fungal community.

Endophytic bacteria can be used to overcome the effect of salinity stress and promote plant growth and nutrient uptake. colonizes a wide range of habitats due to survival in extreme environments and unique physiological characteristics, such as a high tolerance for salt, heavy metals, and ultraviolet and gamma radiations. The aim of our study was to examine the salt resistance of the endophytic strain TS3 and its ability to produce phytohormones and verify its effect on plant yield in field trials and the alleviation of salt stress in pot experiments.

Nickel (Ni) is an essential element for plant growth and is a constituent of several metalloenzymes, such as urease, Ni-Fe hydrogenase, Ni-superoxide dismutase. However, in high concentrations, Ni is toxic and hazardous to plants, humans and animals. High levels of Ni inhibit plant germination, reduce chlorophyll content, and cause osmotic imbalance and oxidative stress.

The endophytic strains V417 and V167 were isolated from cultured grape plants. We sequenced the complete genomes of these strains to reveal their potential beneficial properties for plant growth promotion and control of fungal pathogens. Genes responsible for the synthesis of antimicrobial compounds and siderophores were identified.

We hypothesized that population diversities of partners in nitrogen-fixing rhizobium-legume symbiosis can be matched for "interplaying" genes. We tested this hypothesis using data on nucleotide polymorphism of symbiotic genes encoding two components of the plant-bacteria signaling system: (a) the rhizobial A acyltransferase involved in the fatty acid tail decoration of the Nod factor (signaling molecule); (b) the plant receptor required for Nod factor binding. We collected three wild-growing legume species together with soil samples adjacent to the roots from one large 25-year fallow: , , and nodulated by one of the two biovars ( and ).

The Gram-negative, rod-shaped slow-growing strains Vaf-17, Vaf-18(T) and Vaf-43 were isolated from the nodules of Vavilovia formosa plants growing in the hard-to-reach mountainous region of the North Ossetian State Natural Reserve (north Caucasus, Russian Federation). The sequencing of 16S rDNA (rrs), ITS region and five housekeeping genes (atpD, dnaK, recA, gyrB and rpoB) showed that the isolated strains were most closely related to the species Bosea lathyri (class Alphaproteobacteria, family Bradyrhizobiaceae) which was described for isolates from root nodules of Lathyrus latifolius. However the sequence similarity between the isolated strains and the type strain B.

Sixteen bacterial strains were isolated from root nodules of Vavilovia formosa plants originated from the North Ossetian State Natural Reserve (Caucasus, Russia). Phylogenetic analysis of these strains was performed using partial 16S rRNA gene and internally transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences. The results showed that the isolates belong to three families of root nodule bacteria.

Seven slow-growing bacterial strains isolated from root nodules of yellow serradella (Ornithopus compressus) that originated from Asinara Island on North Western Sardinia in Italy were characterized by partial 16S rRNA gene and intergenic spacer (ITS) sequencing as well as amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) genomic fingerprinting. The results indicated that the O. compressus isolates belong to the Bradyrhizobium canariense species.
