e0“Rh-Est-C12 confers protection to wheat against Z. tritici through direct antifungal activity and, to a lesser extent, by induction of plant defenses without causing major alterations in plant metabolism.”

Other claims from this paper (14)
- Intervention effect Rh-Est-C12 reduced wheat Z. tritici disease severity by 41%.
- Intervention effect Rh-Est-C12 had only a slight effect on wheat leaf gene expression.
- Intervention effect Rh-Est-C12 had only a slight effect on wheat leaf metabolite accumulation.
- Observation 24 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were recorded under elicitation modalities.
- Observation 11 differentially accumulated metabolites (DAMs) were recorded under elicitation modalities.
- Observation 25 DEGs were recorded under priming modalities.
- Observation 17 DAMs were recorded under priming modalities.
- Observation Most wheat transcript and metabolite changes were down-regulations.
- Observation Only a few wheat DEGs and DAMs associated with pathogen resistance were identified.
- Observation Wheat gene expression showed transient early regulation at 2 days after treatment.
- Intervention effect Rh-Est-C12 showed significant direct antimicrobial activity toward Z. tritici in bioassays.
- Mechanism Authors infer wheat protection by Rh-Est-C12 mainly through direct antifungal activity.
- Observation Rh-Est-C12 did not cause major alterations in wheat metabolism.
- Recommendation Authors highlight Rh-Est-C12 as a low-fitness-cost option to control Z. tritici.
