Journal ArticleDOI
Host-induced gene silencing of cytochrome P450 lanosterol C14α-demethylase–encoding genes confers strong resistance to Fusarium species
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that host-induced gene silencing (HIGS) targeting the fungal sterol 14α-demethylase (CYP51) genes restricts Fusarium infection in plants, demonstrating that HIGS is a powerful tool, which could revolutionize crop plant protection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Non-pathogenic Rhizobium radiobacter F4 deploys plant beneficial activity independent of its host Piriformospora indica
Stefanie P. Glaeser,Jafargholi Imani,Ibrahim Alabid,Huijuan Guo,Neelendra Kumar,Peter Kämpfer,Martin Hardt,Jochen Blom,Alexander Goesmann,Michael Rothballer,Anton Hartmann,Karl-Heinz Kogel +11 more
TL;DR: RrF4 is an efficient plant growth-promoting bacterium that colonizes plant roots without host preference and forms aggregates of attached cells and dense biofilms at the root surface of maturation zones and shows a high degree of similarity to the plant pathogenic R. radiobacter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Further analysis of barley MORC1 using a highly efficient RNA-guided Cas9 gene-editing system
Neelendra Kumar,Matteo Galli,Jana Ordon,Johannes Stuttmann,Karl-Heinz Kogel,Jafargholi Imani +5 more
TL;DR: SpCas9‐edited hvmorc1‐ KO barley had a distinct phenotype of increased disease resistance to fungal pathogens, while morc1 mutants of either plant showed de‐repressed expression of transposable elements (TEs), substantiating that plant MORC proteins contribute to genome stabilization in monocotyledonous and dicotylingonous plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
CRISPR/SpCas9-mediated double knockout of barley Microrchidia MORC1 and MORC6a reveals their strong involvement in plant immunity, transcriptional gene silencing and plant growth.
Matteo Galli,Engie Martiny,Jafargholi Imani,Neelendra Kumar,Aline Koch,Jens Steinbrenner,Karl-Heinz Kogel +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of HvMORC6a and its potential interactors in regulating plant immunity via analysis of CRISPR/SpCas9-mediated single and double knockout (dKO) mutants, hvmorc1 (previously generated and characterized by their group), hvMorc6a, and hvormc1/6a.
Journal ArticleDOI
NPR1 is required for root colonization and the establishment of a mutualistic symbiosis between the beneficial bacterium Rhizobium radiobacter and barley.
Neelendra Kumar,Matteo Galli,D'Maris Amick Dempsey,Jafargholi Imani,Anna Moebus,Karl-Heinz Kogel +5 more
TL;DR: A critical role is demonstrated in establishing a mutualistic symbiosis between a beneficial bacterium and a cereal crop between barley and beneficial Alphaproteobacterium radiobacter F4 and barley NPR1-knock down plants.
