Comparative Genomics and Gene Cluster Family Analysis Reveal Conserved and Isolate-Specific Biosynthetic Potential in Medicinal Plant-Associated Endophytic Diaporthe

Endophytic fungi associated with medicinal plants represent promising reservoirs of specialized metabolites; however, the genomic diversity underlying their biosynthetic potential remains incompletely characterized. Here, we performed comparative genomic and genome-mining analyses of four medicinal plant-associated end...

AI and remote sensing for fungal and oomycete disease surveillance: current landscape and biological integration

Comparative Genomics Reveals Extensive Biosynthetic Diversity and Lineage-Specific Metabolic Potential Across Talaromyces Species

Comparative genomic and biosynthetic analyses of 24 Talaromyces species reveal extensive diversification alongside selective conservation of secondary-metabolite pathways across Talaromyces and provide a genomic framework for prioritizing species and BGCs for antifungal natural-product discovery and biocontrol-oriented...

Biocontrol of plant diseases from a holobiont perspective: microbiome-mediated mechanisms and applications

The holobiont perspective offers a more ecologically realistic framework for developing durable and sustainable crop protection strategies and will depend on integrating ecological theory, multi-omics approaches, and field-based validation to translate plant holobiont research into robust disease management application...
