... Plants share their natural environment with numerous microorganisms, commensal as well as harmful. Plant fitness and performance are thus dependent on an efficient communication with such microbiota. The primary means of communication are metabolites exuded from roots, primarily diverse secondary metabolites. The exuded metabolites trigger changes in composition and function of plant associated mi ...

Abstract:
... Microbial metabolomics focuses on the analysis of intracellular or extracellular primary metabolites, signaling molecules, hormones, and secondary metabolites, and it is an important field in systems biology. The progress in microbial metabolomics has been slow primarily due to the complexity and diversity of microbial metabolites, which are usually difficult to identify. However, with the rapid d ...

Abstract:
... Plants respond to disease with an array of responses to styme pathogen ingress. In contrast to this cacophony, plant pathogens orchestrate a finely tuned repertoire of virulence mechanisms in their attempt to cause disease. One such example is the production of secondary metabolite effectors (SMEs). Despite many attempts to functionally categorize SMEs, their many roles in plant disease have prove ...
