2022 journal article

Host induced gene silencing of Magnaporthe oryzae by targeting pathogenicity and development genes to control rice blast disease

FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE, 13.

By: M. Wang n & R. Dean n 

author keywords: rice blast; host-induced gene silencing; transgenic plant; RNA silencing; cross-kingdom communication
TL;DR: RNA silencing signals can be transferred from host to an invasive fungus and that HIGS has potential to generate resistant rice against M. oryzae are suggested. (via Semantic Scholar)

2022 journal article

Microgravity enhances the phenotype of Arabidopsis zigzag-1 and reduces the Wortmannin-induced vacuole fusion in root cells

NPJ MICROGRAVITY, 8(1).

By: M. Wang n, K. Danz n, V. Ly n & M. Rojas-Pierce  n

TL;DR: Results indicate that microgravity enhances the zig-1 phenotype by reducing hypocotyl growth and vacuole fusion in some cells, and demonstrates the feasibility of chemical inhibitor treatments for plant cell biology experiments in space. (via Semantic Scholar)

Dynamic Changes in the Microbiome of Rice During Shoot and Root Growth Derived From Seeds

FRONTIERS IN MICROBIOLOGY, 11.

By: M. Wang n, A. Eyre n, M. Thon *, Y. Oh n & R. Dean n 

author keywords: rice; seed and seedling; microbiome; diversity; driving factors
TL;DR: The microbiome in rice seedlings derived directly from seeds was identified, characterized and compared to the microbiome of the seed, finding greater abundance and diversity were detected for the microbiome associated with roots compared to shoots and with more epiphytes than endophytes.

2020 review

Movement of small RNAs in and between plants and fungi

[Review of ]. MOLECULAR PLANT PATHOLOGY, 21(4), 589–601.

By: M. Wang n & R. Dean n 

author keywords: cross kingdom; extracellular vesicles; small RNAs; transportation
MeSH headings : Extracellular Vesicles / metabolism; Fungi / metabolism; Phloem / metabolism; Plasmodesmata / metabolism; RNA Interference; RNA, Plant / metabolism
TL;DR: Evidence for transport through naked form, combined with RNA‐binding proteins or enclosed by vesicles is described, and bidirectional cross‐kingdom communication of small RNAs between host plants and adapted fungal pathogens to affect the outcome of infection is supported.

Identification and Characterization of the Core Rice Seed Microbiome

PHYTOBIOMES JOURNAL, 3(2), 148–157.

By: A. Eyre n, M. Wang n, Y. Oh n & R. Dean n 

author keywords: endophytes; metagenomics; microbiome; microorganism
TL;DR: These core members represent valuable candidates for manipulating the rice microbiome, decreasing the use of chemicals while increasing plant performance. (via Semantic Scholar)
