Microbiome transition mediated plant immune response to (Ellis & Martin) Jones & Grout infection in tomato ( L.).

(Ellis & Martin) Jones & Grout, causing early blight infection in crops, is a growing threat influencing sustainable crop production. Understanding the variation in the foliar microbiome, particularly the bacterial community during pathogenesis, can provide critical information on host-pathogen interactions, highlighting the host immune response during pathogen invasion. In the present study, early blight (EB) infection was artificially induced in tomato leaves, and the transition in the foliar bacterial community from healthy leaf tissue to infected leaves was analyzed.

Cross-Species Insights into PR Proteins: A Comprehensive Study of , , and .

Unlabelled: This study provides a comprehensive analysis of pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins, focusing on PR1, PR5, and PR10, in three plant species: (At), (Sl), and (St). We investigated various physico-chemical properties, including protein length, molecular weight, isoelectric point (pI), hydrophobicity, and structural characteristics, such as RMSD, using state-of-the-art tools like AlphaFold and PyMOL. Our analysis found that the SlPR10-StPR10 protein pair had the highest sequence identity (80.
