Our new expert Spotlight piece in @TrendsMicrobiol “When soils learn to suppress nematodes" is out doi.org/10.1016/j.tim.2026.0… -@SJB_Ag @theCCDM
We highlight how soils can naturally develop the ability to suppress root-knot nematodes through long‑term ecological & #microbiome shifts.
This suppressiveness arises from dynamic #multikingdom interactions involving microbes, free‑living #nematodes, and plants, together with the activity of #Bacillus velezensis and its #siderophore bacillibactin — which collectively shape soil ecological networks. #SuppressiveSoils
Keywords: #crosskingdom interactions, #disease-suppressive soils, #keystone taxa, microbial #metabolites, #rhizosphere #microbiome, root-knot #nematodes #Meloidogyne #Bacillus #genomics #metabolomics #bacillibactin #siderophore
Fantastic to see Australasian Plant Pathology (#AuPP) @Plant_Pathogens relaunched with a refreshed structure and a new #Editorial Board — including junior EB members. A great step forward for the journal and the #PlantPathology (#APPS) community. link.springer.com/journal/13…
Really pleased to see one of the key papers from my #PhD thesis now out — exploring Sclerotinia‑suppressive soils and the antagonistic #microbiota behind them. Thanks everyone for their contributions!
NEW PUBLICATION from CCDM!
Our team has uncovered a WA soil microbiome that naturally suppresses Sclerotinia sclerotiorum.
