This study identifies Cpi1, a membrane-anchored protease inhibitor in Pseudomonas that inhibits plant PLCPs, enhancing bacterial root colonization by modulating immune responses.

The paper shows that glucosinolate transporters shape root microbiome assembly by creating spatial chemical gradients in Arabidopsis and Camelina.

This study examines microbial growth dynamics on maize rhizodeposits and exudates at varying concentrations, identifying distinct C-thresholds and nutrient limitations.
