on #mLife, scientists found that when the black rot pathogen invades plants, the protein DrdR acts as a "molecular accelerator"—boosting pilus motor power to drive bacteria toward leaf hydathodes.

From fungal detection to crop disease intelligence #plantscience
From fungal detection to crop disease intelligence
As developed by Shen et al., multiple fungal pathogen detection (MFPD) enables screening of partial and full-length ITS (Internal Transcribed Spacer) datasets for reported fungal pathogens. Linking pathogen detection with crop-context interpretation can help plant science move beyond community profiling towards decision support for biovigilance, disease phenotyping, and resistance breeding.

Ideally, at this point they will see that the genetic changes to the plant receptor have disrupted its interaction with the invading pathogen effector, allowing the plant to defend itself.

Once the desired genetic changes are identified, the company takes them to the wet lab to test in a model organism, a relative of tobacco called Nicotiana bentamiana. There, they recreate the interactions between pathogen effector and host plant receptor to see if their changes work.

Resurrect Bio has stepped into the dynamic by using a machine learning platform called FloraFold to identify amino acid changes to the plant receptor that restore its ancestral ability to respond and defend against a particular pathogen.

Like animals, plants have an immune system, which relies on specific immune receptors that are keyed to pathogen proteins. The plant senses the pathogen and activates a response. However, pathogens have evolved to produce proteins called effectors that disarm the plant immune system.

A four-way interaction in the rhizosphere
Nature Reviews Microbiology, Published online: 24 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41579-026-01379-8This Genome Watch discusses recent evidence on the interactions among a plant, a fungal pathogen, its bacterial endosymbiont and the rhizosphere microbiome, highlighting how such multipartite relationships shape plant health and disease, with implications for crop productivity in an era of global change.
