Wild Luteibacter populations exhibit climate-associated divergence and distinct genomic strategies for osmotic stress tolerance

The paper examines how climate influences osmotic stress tolerance in Luteibacter populations, finding distinct genomic strategies in semi-arid and humid strains.

ZeaMiC: a Publicly Available Culture Collection of Maize Root-Associated Bacteria

ZeaMiC provides a culture collection of maize root-associated bacteria to study plant-microbe and microbe-microbe interactions.

Orchard management alters citrus root and rhizosphere microbiomes with functional consequences for plant performance

This study shows that orchard management practices alter citrus root and rhizosphere microbiomes, which in turn affect plant performance through microbial community changes.

Persistent legacy effects on soil microbiota facilitate plant adaptive responses to drought

The paper shows that soil microbiota legacy effects from precipitation influence plant drought responses, benefiting native grasses but not maize.

Spatial chemistry of citrus reveals molecules bactericidal to Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus

This study uses spatial metabolomics to identify bactericidal compounds in citrus plants infected with Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus, suggesting potential alternatives to antibiotics for HLB treatment.
