Soil chemical and microbial gradients determine accumulation of root exuded secondary metabolites and plant-soil feedbacks in the field

This study shows that soil chemical and microbial gradients influence benzoxazinoid accumulation and plant-soil feedbacks in a field, with feedback effects varying along these gradients.

Performance of a winter wheat composite cross population in two temperate agroforestry systems: a case study

This study compares the performance of a winter wheat composite cross population (CCP) and a commercial variety in two agroforestry systems, finding yield advantages for the CCP in one site but quality advantages for the commercial variety.

Plant secondary metabolite-dependent plant-soil feedbacks can improve crop yield in the field

This study shows that maize secondary metabolites improve wheat yield and growth through soil feedbacks in field conditions.

Histopathological aspects of induced resistance by Pseudomonas protegens CHA0 and β-aminobutyric acid in wheat against Puccinia triticina

This study examines how Pseudomonas protegens CHA0 and β-aminobutyric acid induce resistance in wheat against Puccinia triticina, showing reduced fungal penetration and differential resistance mechanisms.

Efficiency of biological and chemical inducers for controlling Septoria tritici leaf blotch (STB) on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

This study evaluates the effectiveness of chemical and biotic inducers in enhancing wheat resistance to Septoria tritici leaf blotch, finding that BABA reduces lesion area and fungal growth while BTH delays early development.

Ranking quantitative resistance to Septoria tritici blotch in elite wheat cultivars using automated image analysis

This study ranks wheat cultivars for resistance to Septoria tritici blotch using automated image analysis, finding that resistance affecting host damage and pathogen reproduction are distinct traits.
