Journal ArticleDOI

Root microbiota drive direct integration of phosphate stress and immunity

TL;DR: It is established that a genetic network controlling the phosphate stress response influences the structure of the root microbiome community, even under non-stress phosphate conditions, and that the master transcriptional regulators of phosphate Stress Response in Arabidopsis thaliana directly repress defence, consistent with plant prioritization of nutritional stress over defence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genomic features of bacterial adaptation to plants.

TL;DR: This work sequenced 484 genomes of bacterial isolates from roots of Brassicaceae, poplar, and maize and validated candidates from two sets of plant-associated genes, including one involved in plant colonization and the other serving in microbe–microbe competition between plant and microbe.
Journal ArticleDOI

Design of synthetic bacterial communities for predictable plant phenotypes.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that plant–bacterium binary-association assays inform the design of small synthetic communities with predictable phenotypes in the host and that it is possible to infer causal relationships between microbiota membership and host phenotypes and to use these inferences to rationally design novel communities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide identification of bacterial plant colonization genes.

TL;DR: Analysis of bacterial genes by sequence-driven saturation mutagenesis revealed a genome-wide map of the genetic determinants of plant root colonization and offers a starting point for targeted improvement of the colonization capabilities of plant-beneficial microbes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protein export systems of Mycobacterium tuberculosis: novel targets for drug development?

TL;DR: The current understanding of the protein export systems of M. tuberculosis is discussed and the potential of these pathways to be novel targets for tuberculosis drugs is considered.
