Fungal associates of the tree-killing bark beetle, Ips typographus, vary in virulence, ability to degrade conifer phenolics and influence bark beetle tunneling behavior

Zhao, Tao; Kandasamy, Dineshkumar; Krokene, Paal; Chen, Jingyuan; Gershenzon, Jonathan; Hammerbacher, Almuth (Elsevier, 2019-04)

The bark beetle Ips typographus carries numerous fungi that could be assisting the beetle in colonizing live Norway spruce (Picea abies) trees. Phenolic defenses in spruce phloem are degraded by the beetle's major tree-killing ...
Roles of plant volatiles in defence against microbial pathogens and microbial exploitation of volatiles

Hammerbacher, Almuth; Coutinho, Teresa A.; Gershenzon, Jonathan (Wiley, 2019-10)

Plants emit a large variety of volatile organic compounds during infection by pathogenic microbes, including terpenes, aromatics, nitrogen‐containing compounds, and fatty acid derivatives, as well as the volatile plant ...
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum circumvents flavonoid defenses by catabolizing flavonol glycosides and aglycones

Chen, Jingyuan; Ullah, Chhana; Reichelt, Michael; Gershenzon, Jonathan; Hammerbacher, Almuth (American Society of Plant Biologists, 2019-08)

Flavonols are widely distributed plant metabolites that inhibit microbial growth. Yet many pathogens cause disease in flavonol-containing plant tissues. We investigated how Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, a necrotrophic fungal ...
