A Caulobacter hub taxon in the soybean root endosphere has a distinctive biofilm and engages in riboflavin-mediated mutualism with Bradyrhizobium

While it is well established that communities of microbes colonize the surfaces of plants as epiphytes and the interior plant tissues as endophytes, their ecological roles and colonization mechanisms remain under characterized. Members of the genus Caulobacter have emerged as hub taxa in epiphytic and endophytic microb...

Rethinking the soil core microbiome.

The concept of a core microbiome emerged from host-associated research to describe microbial members or functions conserved across clearly defined spatial, temporal, and biological boundaries. In soil- and plant-associated microbiome research, however, the term has increasingly shifted toward analytically defined subse...

A beneficial bacterium influences myo-inositol homeostasis to protect plants during drought

Exposure to abiotic stress is one of the primary factors limiting crop productivity with drought stress is the most prevalent. Under drought, plants can produce osmolytes that increase water retention and prevent severe drought symptoms. Plant responses by extension also impact their associated root microbiomes through...
