Endophytes are hidden producers of maytansine in Putterlickia roots.
Several recent studies have lent evidence to the fact that certain so-called plant metabolites are actually biosynthesized by associated microorganisms. In this work, we show that the original source organism(s) responsible for the biosynthesis of the important anticancer and cytotoxic compound maytansine is the endophytic bacterial community harbored specifically within the roots of Putterlick...
متن کاملHidden fungi, emergent properties: endophytes and microbiomes.
Endophytes are microorganisms that live within plant tissues without causing symptoms of disease. They are important components of plant microbiomes. Endophytes interact with, and overlap in function with, other core microbial groups that colonize plant tissues, e.g., mycorrhizal fungi, pathogens, epiphytes, and saprotrophs. Some fungal endophytes affect plant growth and plant responses to path...
متن کاملEndophytes are Plant Helpers: An Overview
In natural ecosystem plants are associated with endophytes. Endophytes are capable of producing extreme secondary metabolites that are used as biocontrol agents, immunosuppressive compounds, etc. (Tan and Zou, 2001). Endophytes have provided many useful compounds that are necessary in developing fields such as medicine, agriculture, biotechnology, etc. (Strobel et al., 2003). They may be seen i...
متن کاملThe Hidden World within Plants: Ecological and Evolutionary Considerations for Defining Functioning of Microbial Endophytes.
All plants are inhabited internally by diverse microbial communities comprising bacterial, archaeal, fungal, and protistic taxa. These microorganisms showing endophytic lifestyles play crucial roles in plant development, growth, fitness, and diversification. The increasing awareness of and information on endophytes provide insight into the complexity of the plant microbiome. The nature of plant...
متن کاملWhy Are Radio-Galaxies Prolific Producers of Type Ia Supernovae?
An analysis of SNIa events in early type galaxies from the Cappellaro et al. (1999) database provides conclusive evidence that the rate of type Ia Supernovae (SNe) in radio-loud galaxies is about 4 times higher than the rate measured in radio-quiet galaxies, i.e. SNIa-rate(radio− loud galaxies) = 0.43 −0.14h 2 75 SNu as compared to SNIa-rate(radio− quiet galaxies) = 0.11 −0.03h 2 75 SNu. The ac...
