A preprint of this paper is available for free at http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2016/08/25/071548
Cool finger millet root video taken by Walaa Mousa of the phenomenon: The root is the vertical purple-red column on the right. Here Fusarium fungal pathogen was added at a distance at the upper left (not visible), and in response, seed-coated endophytic bacteria M6 (GFP-labelled, green) has swarmed towards it, apparently exited, and multiplied dramatically on the left surface of the root (rhizoplane). In parallel, M6 has apparently induced dramatic growth of root hairs (long purple strands on the left, bending vertically and forming a thick mat) onto which the endophyte cells are starting to stack as green layers, similar to a lasagna (in the analogy, the root hairs are the red noodle sheets, and the filling is the endophytic bacteria in green). As a result, multiple barriers are formed against the Fusarium pathogen. Within this complex, M6 produces potent fungicides to kill invading Fusarium so that it cannot enter into the root.

OPEN ACCESS
-This paper, later selected as the Editor's Choice Discovery in Plant Biology by The Scientist magazine, describes a novel symbiotic relationship between a plant and a fungus in which the fungus creates a molecular bandage laced with a fungicide to seal and protect wounds. The fungicide is the important anti-cancer drug Taxol. More generally, the paper also proposes that plants have selected for mobile microbes to inhabit their vascular tissues in order to search, swarm and kill pathogens, since plant cells themselves cannot move -- a type of convergent evolution analogous to mammalian immunity cells.

Plant Cell & Environment 36: 68-86.
OPEN ACCESS
In vitro plant regeneration from stem cells is important both for commercial plant biotech as well as for "low tech" efforts in developing nations to remove viruses and other pathogens by simply heating plant tissue culture planting materials, thus reducing the need for pesticides. Unfortunately, plant regeneration is very plant cultivar specific and there is considerable variability in regeneration rates. This paper explains part of the underlying problem and suggests simple, low cost strategies to move forward.
