Indole is an essential herbivore-induced volatile priming signal in maize

Herbivore attack of plant tissue primes non-attacked tissue to respond more strongly to subsequent attacks. Here, Erb et al. identify indole as an airborne priming signal that enhances herbivore-induced defensive-volatile and stress-hormone production in systemic tissues and neighbouring plants.

Methylation moulds microbiomes

Exudates released from plant roots can recruit beneficial microorganisms that boost plant growth and immunity. In Arabidopsis thaliana and tomato, active DNA demethylation regulates the production of myo-inositol, a root exudate which recruits a specific plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium.

Plant perception of β-aminobutyric acid is mediated by an aspartyl-tRNA synthetase

β-Aminobutyric acid (BABA) is a small-molecule activator of plant disease resistance. Binding of (R)-BABA to IBI1—an aspartyl-tRNA synthetase (AspRS)—primes noncanonical defense pathways, resulting in broad-spectrum disease resistance. Ligand binding also blocks AspRS activity, leading to accumulation of aspartic acid and uncharged tRNA, which activate a second plant stress response.

Farming with crops and rocks to address global climate, food and soil security

To reduce climate warming we must stop adding CO₂ to the atmopshere, and develop approaches for removing it. Adding crushed, fast-reacting silicate rocks to croplands could improve productivity, restore soil quality and reduce atmospheric CO₂.
