This study shows specialists are more affected by community complexity than generalists in Arabidopsis leaf microbiota.

This study shows that surfactant-producing Pseudomonads enhance co-swarming and biomass of Pantoea eucalypti 299R on agar but not in planta, suggesting surfactant-dependent co-motility benefits leaf colonization.

The paper shows that non-pathogenic bacteria cause pathogen-like plant responses depending on their density, with high titers triggering strong defense mechanisms.

The paper develops a plant protoplast-based assay to measure real-time gene expression changes in response to bacterial inoculation, enabling high-throughput screening of salicylic acid-modulating bacteria.

This study investigates how resource overlap affects bacterial competition in the phyllosphere using metabolic modeling and experimental competitions, finding weak resource competition effects due to leaf spatial heterogeneity.

The paper extends the Chromatic Bacteria toolbox using a Himar1 transposon vector to fluorescently tag more bacteria, successfully integrating into some non-model organisms but not Gram positives.

This study uses fluorescent proteins to track bacterial growth in mixed cultures, showing strong correlation with optical density and enabling high-throughput analysis of strain interactions.

The paper introduces Litterbox, a gnotobiotic zeolite-clay system for studying Arabidopsis-microbe interactions, showing it supports plant growth and mimics natural microbial densities.
