Researchers have demonstrated a technique for successfully encapsulating bacteria that can then be stored and applied to plants to improve plant growth and protect against pests and pathogens. The ...

A new study reveals plants, fungi, bacteria, protists, and even some viruses deploy venom-like mechanisms, similar to that of ...

Mar. 18, 2025 — Increased antibiotic use can lead, seemingly paradoxically, to more problematic infections, as the bacteria evolve to resist the treatment. The answer to this antimicrobial ...

Scientists have discovered that erucamide, a plant-produced fatty acid amide, disrupts the function of the bacterial injectosome—a syringe-like nanomachine that some pathogenic bacteria use to ...

In Estonia, many people learned a lesson from ethnomedicine as children: that placing a plantain leaf on a scraped knee would ...

Instead of further depleting over-harvested indigenous plants for medicinal purposes, it might be possible to use the bacteria inside their roots. This would preserve at-risk plants while still ...

Galls are abnormal growths on a part of the plant. They can be caused by bacteria, insects, mites and fungi. They can be on ...

A plant metabolite, erucamide, shows promise in combating bacterial diseases in crops by inhibiting the Type III Secretion System (T3SS) used by Gram-negative bacteria.
