🌱🧬 Plant virus of the month: PEMV-1/2
Pea enation mosaic disease results from an unusual partnership between two viruses.
• PEMV 1 provides a coat protein and is carried by aphids.
• PEMV 2 lacks its own coat protein, it uses PEMV 1 and lets the pair spread throughout the host.
Together they cause severe mosaic, leaf deformation, stunting and characteristic outgrowths on e.g. peas, chickpeas, faba beans & lentils.

From #yogurt to yield: Potential applications of #LacticAcidBacteria in plant production
by John R. Lamont, Olivia Wilkins, Margaret Bywater-Ekegärd, Donald L. Smith
Published August, 2017Highlights
• Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have been used for decades to improve plant growth.
• The plant - LAB relationship has yet to be fully characterized.
• LAB can serve as biofertilizers, biocontrols, biostimulants, and bioelicitors.Abstract:
"Ferments containing lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have been used for decades in agricultural systems to improve soils, control disease and promote plant growth, however, the functional roles of LAB in the phytomicrobiome have yet to be discovered. An understanding of the symbiotic relationship between plants and LAB could be exploited to improve agricultural plant production."Scientific investigations to validate plant growth promoting properties of LAB are increasing in number and scope. LAB isolated from diverse sources have been shown to be effective biofertilizers, biocontrol agents, biostimulants. As biofertilizers, LAB can improve nutrient availability from compost and other organic material. In fermented food, LAB has served as an effective biocontrol agent; recently LAB have been shown to be effective in the control of a wide variety of fungal and bacterial phytopathogens. As biostimulants, LAB can directly promote plant growth or seed germination, as well as alleviating various abiotic stresses.
"In this review, we discuss the history and ecology of plants and LAB, appraise the available information on the use of LAB in improving plant production, and consider the limitations and potential new directions for the use of LAB in plant agriculture."

Hey, can anyone identify this? I think it's some sort of gall, and i think it's on an alder. It's heavy, about the size of my fist, and on the ends of branches or at joins, and there are several on one tree and more in a nearby tree. Any thoughts?

Climate change and globalization raise risks from crop pests
Climate change and globalization are driving a surge in threats to crops from insects and mites, researchers say. Rising temperatures are enabling pests to move further from the equator and to higher ground, while increased trade is accelerating the spread of invasive species.

Scientists shed light on an arms race between barley and a fungal pathogen
#Barley plants produce unique antifungal compounds called hordedanes to defend against pathogens. Scientists identified 17 hordedanes that inhibit fungal growth, but a pathogen, Bipolaris sorokiniana, exploits these defenses to thrive. By neutralizing hordedanes, it extends its parasitic phase, showcasing the complex evolutionary battle between plants and pathogens.
