How we measure 'reads'
A 'read' is counted each time someone views a publication summary (such as the title, abstract, and list of authors), clicks on a figure, or views or downloads the full-text. Learn more

A growing population coupled with a higher demand for food is putting pressure on agriculture. The use of synthetic pesticides and chemical fertilizers allowed us to boost agricultural productions, but at a great environmental cost. Exploitation of beneficial microorganism (BM)-plant interactions has been proposed as an eco-friendly solution to imp...
Societal Impact Statement
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) impact the relationships between plants, aphids (insects that feed on plant phloem), and their natural enemies (insects that prey on or parasitize aphids). The presence of AMF influences the growth and population of different aphid species and affects the development of aphid‐killing wasp...
Plants are central to complex networks of multitrophic interactions. Increasing evidence suggests that beneficial microorganisms (BMs) may be used as plant biostimulants and pest biocontrol agents. We investigated whether tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) plants are thoroughly colonized by the endophytic and entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana,...
Timely and noninvasive detection of plant diseases may help to mitigate significant yield losses and represents an important milestone in sustainable plant protection. Herein, we report the application of pulsed thermography (PT) to predict presymptomatic stages of gray mold. For this purpose, pepper and tomato plants were inoculated with conidia o...
Plant roots can exploit beneficial associations with soil inhabiting microbes, promoting growth and expanding the immune capacity of the host plant. In this work, we aimed to increase information on changes occurring in tomato interacting with the beneficial fungus Beauveria bassiana. Tomato leaf proteome revealed perturbed molecular pathways durin...
Endophytic colonization by B. bassiana strain ATCC 74040 (Naturalis®) helps plant fight Botrytis cinerea infection.
Fungi emit a broad spectrum of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), sometimes producing species-specific volatile profiles. Volatilomes have received over the last decade increasing attention in ecological, environmental and agricultural studies due to their potential to be used in the biocontrol of plant pathogens and pests and as plant growth-promo...
Il libro è nato dalla consapevolezza di dover promuovere e diffondere l’importanza economica e il ruolo fondamentale che gli impollinatori svolgono nell’ecosistema, far conoscere il drammatico declino della quantità e della diversità di tutti i tipi di insetti impollinatori selvatici e non, le cause che ne sono responsabili e gli effetti che le pre...
