Root exudate metabolites drive plant-soil feedbacks on growth and defense by shaping the rhizosphere microbiota

TL;DR: The results reveal a mechanism by which plants determine the composition of rhizosphere microbiota, plant performance and plant-herbivore interactions of the next generation by modifying root-associated microbiota.

Agricultural intensification reduces microbial network complexity and the abundance of keystone taxa in roots

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that agricultural intensification reduces network complexity and the abundance of keystone taxa in the root microbiome, and this is the first study to report mycorrhizal keystoneTaxa for agroecosystems.

Root Exudation of Primary Metabolites: Mechanisms and Their Roles in Plant Responses to Environmental Stimuli.

TL;DR: This review synthetize recent advances in ecology and plant biology to explain and propose mechanisms by which root exudation of primary metabolites is controlled, and what role theirExudation plays in plant nutrient acquisition strategies, and proposes a novel conceptual framework forRoot exudates.

Modulation of the Root Microbiome by Plant Molecules: The Basis for Targeted Disease Suppression and Plant Growth Promotion

TL;DR: Understanding how plants manipulate their microbiome can aid in the design of next-generation microbial inoculants for targeted disease suppression and enhanced plant growth.

The Chemistry of Plant-Microbe Interactions in the Rhizosphere and the Potential for Metabolomics to Reveal Signaling Related to Defense Priming and Induced Systemic Resistance.

TL;DR: The interactions within the rhizosphere and subsequent above-ground ‘signalomics’ are reviewed, and the contributions that mass spectrometric-based metabolomic approaches can bring to the study of plant-beneficial – and priming events are emphasized.

Structure and functions of the bacterial microbiota of plants

TL;DR: The plant microbiota emerges as a fundamental trait that includes mutualism enabled through diverse biochemical mechanisms, as revealed by studies on plant growth- Promoting and plant health-promoting bacteria.

Defining the core Arabidopsis thaliana root microbiome

TL;DR: The pyrosequencing of the bacterial 16S ribosomal RNA gene of more than 600 Arabidopsis thaliana plants is reported to test the hypotheses that the root rhizosphere and endophytic compartment microbiota of plants grown under controlled conditions in natural soils are sufficiently dependent on the host to remain consistent across different soil types and developmental stages.

Revealing structure and assembly cues for Arabidopsis root-inhabiting bacterial microbiota

TL;DR: Methodology is described to characterize and compare soil- and root-inhabiting bacterial communities, which reveals not only a function for metabolically active plant cells but also for inert cell-wall features in the selection of soil bacteria for host colonization.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure, variation, and assembly of the root-associated microbiomes of rice.

TL;DR: Dynamic changes observed during microbiome acquisition, as well as steady-state compositions of spatial compartments, support a multistep model for root microbiome assembly from soil wherein the rhizoplane plays a selective gating role.

The ecology of the microbiome: Networks, competition, and stability

TL;DR: This finding indicates that hosts can benefit from microbial competition when this competition dampens cooperative networks and increases stability, and indicates that stability is promoted by limiting positive feedbacks and weakening ecological interactions.

Q1. What are the contributions in this paper?

Here, the authors discuss physiological factors of plants that may govern plant-microbe interactions, focusing on root physiology and the role of root exudates. Finally, building off of the features discussed in this review, and in analogy to well-known symbioses, the authors elaborate on a possible sequence of events governing rhizobiome assembly. Given that only a few plant transport proteins are known to be involved in root metabolite export, the authors suggest novel families putatively involved in this process.
