Plant root-microbe communication in shaping root microbiomes.

TL;DR: Current knowledge on the formation and maintenance of root-associated microbial communities and plant– microbe interactions with a particular emphasis on the effect of microbe–microbe interactions on the shape of microbial communities at the root surface are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The root endophytic fungus Piriformospora indica requires host cell death for proliferation during mutualistic symbiosis with barley

TL;DR: It is suggested that the endophyte interferes with the host cell death program to form a mutualistic interaction with plants and increase fungal colonization with root tissue maturation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bipolaris sorokiniana, a cereal pathogen of global concern: cytological and molecular approaches towards better control‡

TL;DR: The taxonomy and worldwide distribution are reviewed, as well as strategies to counteract the disease as an emerging threat to cereal production systems and the current understanding of the cytological and molecular aspects of the interaction of the fungus with its cereal hosts are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Broad-Spectrum Suppression of Innate Immunity Is Required for Colonization of Arabidopsis Roots by the Fungus Piriformospora indica

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that P. indica is confronted with a functional root immune system and that its ability to suppress host immunity is compromised by various microbe associated molecular patterns (MAMPs).
