Paralleled Dynamics of Arabidopsis Root Exudation and SynCom Assembly in a Controlled Environment

Charlotte Joller, Jan Waelchli, Joëlle Schläpfer, Klaus Schlaeppi

This study compares two microcosm systems for simultaneously monitoring root exudates and microbial community dynamics, finding that the glass bead system better captures dynamic exudate shifts during bacterial community establishment.

Soil iron drives beneficial maize microbiome feedbacks inrotations with wheat

Jan Waelchli, Henry Christopher Janse van Rensburg, Katja Stengele, Viola D'Adda, Selma Cadot, Veronica Caggìa, Valentin Gfeller, Klaus Schlaeppi

The paper shows that soil iron levels mediate maize microbiome feedbacks on wheat growth, with beneficial effects at low iron levels and negative effects at high iron levels.

A TNL receptor mediates microbiome feedbacks in Arabidopsis

Henry Christopher Janse van Rensburg, Niklas Schandry, Jan Waelchli, Katja Stengele, Selma Cadot, Katharina Jandrasits, Hiroaki Adachi, Claude Becker, Klaus Schlaeppi

The paper identifies MMF1, an immune receptor in Arabidopsis, that mediates microbiome feedbacks by influencing root bacterial communities and defense responses.
