Secondary metabolites and their impact on symbiotic interactions in the ambrosia fungus Geosmithia eupagioceri

This study identifies secondary metabolites from the ambrosia fungus Geosmithia eupagioceri and shows their antimicrobial activity against bacteria, fungi, nematodes, and mites, as well as potential physiological modulation of the fungus and beetle host.

The bacterial virulence factors rhamnolipids and their (R)-3-hydroxyalkanoate precursors activate Arabidopsis innate immunity through two independent mechanisms

This paper shows that rhamnolipids and their (R)-3-hydroxyalkanoate precursors activate Arabidopsis immunity through two distinct mechanisms involving different receptors and signaling pathways.
