The introduction of a fungus-originated lip H8 confers higher gene transformation efficiency of Agrobacterium fabrum in Nicotiana benthamiana.

World journal of microbiology & biotechnology | 2026-Apr-30

This study demonstrates that introducing the lignin peroxidase gene lip H8 into Agrobacterium fabrum enhances its virulence, colonization ability, and tumorigenesis in potato and other plants. The findings suggest that this modified Agrobacterium strain could serve as a more efficient tool for plant transformation and functional genomics research.

Potato Spindle Tuber Viroid (PSTVd)-Plant Interactions: Molecular Mechanisms, Multi-Omics Reprogramming, and Emerging Ecological Dynamics of the Holobiont.

Plant, cell & environment | 2026-Apr-29

This review explores the molecular mechanisms of Potato Spindle Tuber Viroid (PSTVd) infection and its impact on the transcriptomes, epigenomes, and metabolomes of Solanaceous hosts like potato. It synthesizes current knowledge on viroid structure, systemic movement, and host defense evasion to inform the development of viroid-resistant potato crops.
