How conventional and organic growers can achieve higher yields while saving on fertilizers.

Agriculture and food supply are two of the most essential components of life, and climate change is having a profound impact on both. The changing climate is causing extreme weather events, rising temperatures, and shifts in precipitation patterns, all of which can bring about serious changes to the way we grow and process our food. From droughts to floods, crop yields can be affected, and the availability and quality of the food we eat is being altered.

Climate change is causing shifts in the growing season. With warmer temperatures, plants can bloom and mature earlier, leading to an accelerated growing season. This can be beneficial in some cases, such as when certain crops are able to grow more than one crop per year. However, it can also lead to an increased risk of crop failure due to extreme weather events or an increased chance of pests and disease.

In addition to changes in the growing season, climate change is also impacting the availability of water. With droughts becoming more common, farmers are often left with limited water resources for irrigation. This can lead to reduced crop yields and, ultimately, less food available for consumption.

Climate change is also impacting soil health. With increased temperatures, soils are becoming drier and more prone to erosion, leading to reduced fertility and productivity. This can lead to a decrease in crop yields.

Finally, climate change is leading to an increase in extreme weather events, such as floods and storms. These can lead to crop losses, soil erosion, and contamination of water supplies, all of which can further reduce food availability and quality.

Due to these factors, climate change is having a profound effect on agriculture and food supply, and this effect is only expected to grow in the coming years. It is essential that we take steps to mitigate these impacts and ensure that our food systems are resilient to the changing climate. This includes investing in sustainable agricultural practices and developing strategies to better manage water resources. Additionally, it is important that we work to reduce our emissions and limit the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Taking these steps now is essential for the future of our food supply.

How do beneficial fungi affect the gut microbiota of harmful insects to keep tomatoes healthy?

How do beneficial fungi affect the gut microbiota of harmful insects to keep tomatoes healthy? 🍅🐛 📰 A recent article published by Di Lelio et al. 2023 demonstrates that the resistance of tomato plants to pest insects is driven by a symbiotic soil fungus that alters the insect’s gut microbiota. 🦠 Researchers elucidated the specific mechanisms by which the beneficial soil fungus - Trichoderma afroharzianum - affects the survival of larvae of the moth Spodoptera littorals, a pest insect of major agricultural importance. 📌 Study highlights: -> larvae fed on leaves from tomato plants colonized by symbiotic fungi exhibited significantly greater mortality, -> treated larvae showed an alteration in the composition and functionality of the gut microbiota, -> symbiotic bacterial pathways that were significant for the larvae nutrition (e.g. biosynthesis of amino acids) were altered in treated larvae. 👨‍🌾 The intricate interactions between soil, plants, and microbe...

The successful establishment of arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM) symbiosis

Zoom in on arbuscular mycorrhizae formation 🦠🌱 🔎 The successful establishment of arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM) symbiosis consists of the following stages: 1️⃣ PRECONTACT STAGE (signaling dialog between host plants) -> The roots of the host plant exude strigolactones (SLs) and flavonoids into the rhizosphere. -> SLs induce spore germination and hyphal branching of AM fungi. -> AM fungi release mycorrhizal factors to initiate the symbiosis response in root cells, including calcium spiking and symbiosis-related gene expression. 2️⃣ INFECTION STAGE -> AM fungi form a hyphopodium on the root surface. -> The formation of the hyphopodium is supported by host-derived cutin monomers. -> Hyphae of AM fungi then invade root cells through a prepenetration apparatus that guides the fungal hypha toward the cortex. 3️⃣ FORMATION OF WELL-DEVELOPED ARBUSCULES -> The fungal hyphae undergo dichotomous branching and form tree-like structures called arbuscules. -> Well-develo...

SILICON 🛡️🌱 Turn the fungal defence ON

SILICON 🛡️🌱 Turn the fungal defense ON 💡 Silicon (Si) possesses antifungal properties and minimizes foliar disease development by the formation of physical barriers and specific tolerance mechanisms 🛡️ PHYSICAL PROTECTION Silicon acts as a natural shield, fortifying plant cell walls and creating a physical barrier against fungal invaders. This extra layer of defense makes it harder for pathogens (e.g. germinating fungal spores) to penetrate and cause cellular damage. 🧬 MOLECULAR DEFENSE Silicon also triggers specific molecular adaptations within plants, activating their natural defense mechanisms. It was shown that Si treatment activates the expression of specific genes (e.g. PAL, PRO, CHS, POX, PR-1, CHI, β-1,2-glucanase) involved in the tolerance against biotic stresses. Silicon stimulates the production of defense-related enzymes and compounds, including antioxidants, secondary metabolites, and antifungal compounds. The signaling pathways were shown to be hormone-depende...
