Host-associated microbiomes influence host health. However, it is unclear whether
genotypic variations in host organisms influence the microbiome in ways that have adaptive …

Maintaining microbiome structure is critical for the health of both plants and animals. By re-screening
a collection of Arabidopsis mutants affecting root immunity and hormone crosstalk, …

To establish compatible rhizobial-legume symbioses, plant roots support bacterial infection
via host-derived infection threads (ITs). Here, we report the requirement of plant flotillin-like …

cues from their local environment and integrate this information with systemic signals. This …

Regardless of the outcome of symbiosis, whether it is pathogenic, mutualistic or commensal,
bacteria must first colonize their hosts. Intriguingly, closely related bacteria that colonize …

The root microbiome consists of commensal, pathogenic, and plant-beneficial microbes [1].
Most members of the root microbiome possess microbe-associated molecular patterns (…
