They show how Fusarium infection drives leaf-surface alkalinization — and how acid-producing Pseudomonas species flip the switch to suppress disease. Happy to have chipped in a little (also with @fdiniandreote.bsky.social

"Keystone Pseudomonas species in the wheat phyllosphere microbiome mitigate Fusarium head blight by altering host pH" spkl.io/63323AdYmJ #NanjingAgriculturalUniversity Wu Xiong, Xuewen Gao, Qin Gu & colleagues @cp-cellhostmicrobe.bsky.social

Fusarium graminearum (F. graminearum) pathogen induces wheat phyllosphere alkalinization, promoting the development of Fusarium head blight (FHB). Xu et al. show that host-acidifying Pseudomonas, selectively enriched in the wheat phyllosphere during F. graminearum invasion, counteract the pathogen-induced alkalinization through organic acid production, thereby suppressing FHB and emerging as effective biocontrol agents

Interesting findings from @fdiniandreote.bsky.social & colleagues: 🌱 Plants use underground fungal highways to share defense signals. CMNs transfer jasmonic acid from infected → healthy plants, reshaping rhizosphere microbes (like Streptomyces) that fight off pathogens. Read more👉
