Iron-dependent reprogramming of damage-associated peptide receptor signaling coordinates immunity and phosphate stress adaptation

Phosphate starvation in Arabidopsis potentiates Pep-PEPR signaling, but not flagellin or chitin responses, via LPR1/LPR2 iron-redox, RBOHD/RBOHF and WRKY33; basal PEPR activity also supports phosphate-starvation responses.

Nitrogen acquisition and selective bacterial attraction through fungal hyphae promote plant growth and health under nitrogen limitation

The paper shows that the fungus Colletotrichum tofieldiae promotes plant growth under nitrogen limitation by transferring nitrogen independently of plant nitrate transporters and by attracting beneficial bacteria.

Soil nutrition-dependent dynamics of the root-associated microbiome in paddy rice

The paper examines how soil nutrition affects the root-associated microbiome of rice across seasons and conditions, finding nitrogen-fixing bacteria dominate in non-fertilized fields and a machine learning model can predict soil fertilization status from microbiome data.
