Dodders ( spp.) are holoparasitic plants that enwind stems of host plants and penetrate those by haustoria to connect to the vascular bundles. Having a broad host plant spectrum, spp infect nearly all dicot plants - only cultivated tomato as one exception is mounting an active defense specifically against . In a recent work we identified a pattern recognition receptor of tomato, "Cuscuta Receptor 1" (CuRe1), which is critical to detect a "Cuscuta factor" (CuF) and initiate defense responses such as the production of ethylene or the generation of reactive oxygen species. CuRe1 also contributes to the tomato resistance against . Here we point to the fact that CuRe1 is not the only relevant component for full tomato resistance but it requires additional defense mechanisms, or receptors, respectively, to totally fend off the parasite.

Plants emit green leaf volatiles (GLVs) in response to biotic and abiotic stress. Receiver plants perceive GLVs as alarm cues resulting in activation of defensive or protective mechanisms. While this is well documented, it is not known how GLVs are perceived by receiver cells and what the structural determinants are for GLV activity.

Crop diseases significantly threaten global food security, driving the need for innovative control strategies. This study explored using ZnO-TiO@MSC, a novel nanomaterial synthesized using a corn stover template, to enhance disease resistance in tomato plants. In vitro assays demonstrated potent antimicrobial activity of ZnO-TiO@MSC against the pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv.

Background: Entomopathogenic fungi are increasingly used as bio-inoculants to enhance crop growth and resistance. When applied to rhizosphere soil, they interact with resident soil microbes, which can affect their ability to colonize and induce resistance in plants as well as modify the structure of the resident soil microbiome, either directly through interactions in the rhizosphere or indirectly, mediated by the plant. The extent to which such direct versus indirect interactions between bio-inoculants and soil microbes impact microbe-induced resistance in crops remains unclear.

Coated paper with bio-based components has sparked attention as a food packaging alternative to plastic. This study focusses on development of environmentally friendly packaging solution by electrospraying shellac over paper's surface. The goal of the study is to reduce the time of fabrication, by optimising the process parameters, concentration; 20, 30, and 40%w/v, flow rate; 10, 20, and 30 ml/h, and coating time; 100, 200, and 300 s (Concentration (% w/v))/ Flow rate (ml/h)/ time (sec)), in order to get better GSM (grams per square meter), COBB (grams of water absorbed per square meter), KIT (oil resistance ability), and WVTR (water vapor transmission rate).

Thioredoxin is a multifunctional acidic protein widely presented in organisms that regulates intracellular redox processes, participating in a series of biochemical reactions in cells to affect the growth and development of plants. Although the thioredoxin (TRX) gene family has been widespread recognized across various plant species, and the tomato genome has been sequenced for years now, of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) has remained largely uncharted in terms of identifying and unraveling the functional intricacies of is TRX genes. In this study, 53 SlTRX genes were identified, unevenly distributed across 11 of the 12 tomato chromosomes.
