Journal ArticleDOI
Living inside plants: bacterial endophytes
TL;DR: Culture-independent methods for community analysis and functional genomic as well as comparative genomic analyses will provide a better understanding of community dynamics, signaling, and functions in endophyte-plant associations.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The first metagenomic approach to analyze an endophytic bacterial community resident inside roots of rice, one of the most important staple foods, suggests a high potential of the endophyte community for plant-growth promotion, improvement of plant stress resistance, biocontrol against pathogens, and bioremediation, regardless of their culturability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Roots shaping their microbiome: global hotspots for microbial activity.
TL;DR: A three-step enrichment model for shifts in community structure from bulk soil toward roots, based on comparison of microbiome data for the different root-soil compartments and on knowledge of bacterial functions, is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Life in grasses: diazotrophic endophytes
TL;DR: N2-fixing bacteria such as Azoarcus spp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Root colonization and systemic spreading of Azoarcus sp. strain BH72 in grasses.
TL;DR: PCR and Western immunoblotting, using primers specific for eubacteria and antibodies recognizing type-specific antigens, indicated that strain BH72 could colonize rice plants systemically, probably mediated by longitudinal spreading through vessels.
