Innate immunity can distinguish beneficial from pathogenic rhizosphere microbiota

The paper shows that plants can distinguish between beneficial and pathogenic Pseudomonas fluorescens strains through distinct immune responses.

PSKR1 balances the plant growth-defense trade-off in the rhizosphere microbiome

This study shows PSKR1 in Arabidopsis balances growth and defense responses to maintain beneficial rhizosphere microbiome interactions.

Sticky Pi, an AI-powered smart insect trap for community chronoecology

The Sticky Pi trap uses AI to monitor insect activity patterns, revealing daily rhythms and community temporal niches without targeting specific species.

Amino acid availability determines plant immune homeostasis in the rhizosphere microbiome

This study shows that bacterial amino acid biosynthesis prevents rhizosphere alkalization and immune activation in Arabidopsis by reducing glutamate precursors.

The ColR/S two-component system is a conserved determinant of host association across Pseudomonas species

This study shows the ColR/S two-component system is conserved in Pseudomonas species and required for host association, but its regulon diverges between strains with different lifestyles.

A screen for mutants deficient in coronatine-mediated suppression of root immunity identifies Arabidopsis SDA1 as a novel integrator of immunity and phytohormone signaling

This study identifies Arabidopsis SDA1 as a novel negative regulator of root and leaf immunity through a genetic screen for mutants impaired in coronatine-mediated suppression of root immunity.

Commensal Pseudomonas fluorescens protect Arabidopsis from closely-related Pseudomonas pathogens in a colonization-dependent manner

The paper identifies commensal Pseudomonas strains that protect Arabidopsis from pathogens through colonization-dependent mechanisms, revealing a response regulator involved in competitive exclusion.

Natural variation in Arabidopsis ISR1 affects iron localization and induced systemic resistance

The paper identifies ISR1 as a gene affecting iron localization and induced systemic resistance in Arabidopsis, showing its role in immunity and ROS production.

Loss of a plant receptor kinase recruits beneficial rhizosphere-associated Pseudomonas

This study identifies FERONIA kinase's role in regulating NADPH oxidase to control rhizosphere Pseudomonas levels in Arabidopsis.

Comparative genomics identified a genetic locus in plant-associated Pseudomonas spp. that is necessary for induced systemic susceptibility

Ectomycorrhizal fungi induce systemic resistance against insects on a non-mycorrhizal plant in a CERK1-dependent manner

This study shows that the ectomycorrhizal fungus Laccaria bicolor induces systemic resistance against insect herbivores in Arabidopsis through a CERK1-dependent mechanism.

Convergent gain and loss of genomic islands drives lifestyle changes in plant-associated Pseudomonas

The paper identifies genomic islands linked to pathogenic and commensal lifestyles in Pseudomonas fluorescens using computational analysis of Arabidopsis-associated strains.

A genome-wide screen identifies genes in rhizosphere-associated Pseudomonas required to evade plant defenses

This paper identifies bacterial genes in Pseudomonas sp. WCS365 that enhance rhizosphere fitness and evade Arabidopsis plant defenses through biofilm formation and immune response modulation.
