The paper shows that low intra-microbiota antagonism promotes stability and pathogen protection in barley root microbiota, while high antagonism leads to instability and reduced protection.

This study uses time-resolved transcriptomics to identify a GH18-CBM5 chitinase in Sebacinales fungi that protects plants against the pathogen Bipolaris sorokiniana.

This study identifies a metabolite interaction between barley and the fungal pathogen Bipolaris sorokiniana, revealing that plant-produced hordedanes both inhibit other fungi and promote pathogen growth.
