This study shows dopamine affects rhizosphere microbial community composition by influencing bacterial growth and abundance in Brachypodium distachyon root exudates.

The paper reduces a sorghum synthetic microbial community to identify a stable, growth-promoting variant that enhances flavonoid production and plant growth through dynamic gene expression and metabolomic changes.

This study uses metagenome-guided substrate selection to enrich Terriglobus, identify co-occurring taxa, and isolate a novel species from soil.

This study identifies hundreds of drought-responsive genes in sorghum using multi-season transcriptomic data from field experiments.

This study shows that diverse soil microbiomes consistently enhance plant biomass by decomposing organic matter, suggesting a universal microbial function in nutrient cycling.

This study identifies strain-specific functional diversity in Streptomyces endophytes under drought stress, showing enrichment does not correlate with plant growth promotion.

This study demonstrates that a defined synthetic microbial community can enhance sorghum growth in both lab and field settings, despite losing diversity in native environments.
