Improved gfp and inaZ broad-host-range promoter-probe vectors.
TL;DR: A new set of broad-host-range promoter-probe vectors has been constructed that contains the pVS1 and p15a replicons and confers resistance to either gentamicin or kanamycin and is bound by transcriptional terminators to permit the insertion of strong promoters and to insulate the cassette from external transcription enabling the detection of weak or moderate promoters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Leaf microbiota in an agroecosystem: spatiotemporal variation in bacterial community composition on field-grown lettuce.
TL;DR: One of the largest surveys of leaf surface microbiology offers new insights into the extent and underlying causes of variability in bacterial community composition on plant leaves as a function of time, space and environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Appetite of an epiphyte: Quantitative monitoring of bacterial sugar consumption in the phyllosphere
TL;DR: In this article, a bacterial bioreporter for fructose and sucrose that was designed to monitor the availability of these sugars to microbial colonizers of the phyllosphere is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Utilization of the Plant Hormone Indole-3-Acetic Acid for Growth by Pseudomonas putida Strain 1290
TL;DR: Activity of the enzyme catechol 1,2-dioxygenase was induced during growth on IAA, suggesting that catechols is an intermediate of the IAA catabolic pathway, and implies a biological role for strain 1290 as a sink or recycler of IAA in its association with plants and plant-associated bacteria.

TL;DR: A review by a multidisciplinary team maps key components and emerging connections within the intellectual landscape of agroecology as discussed by the authors, and identifies forward-looking scientific questions to enhance the relevance of agriculture for mitigating environmental impacts of agriculture while dramatically increasing global food production, improving livelihoods, and thereby reducing chronic hunger and malnutrition.
