The paper shows that plant glucosinolates select for bacterial communities with redundant and cooperative metabolic functions in wild Arabidopsis leaves.

The paper shows that Pseudomonas uses SaxA to detoxify plant isothiocyanates, enabling a commensal to thrive and suppress Pseudomonas virulence.

This study shows that pathogen virulence factors can indirectly benefit commensals through nutrient competition, limiting pathogen growth in plant leaves.

The paper shows that a pathogenic fungus detoxifies plant defense metabolites, enabling bacterial colonization in necrotic tissue of Arabidopsis thaliana.

This study investigates how soil bacteria transition to the phyllosphere, finding that deterministic processes shape some taxa while stochastic processes dominate overall, influenced by plant-microbe interactions.

The paper shows that structural variations in glucosinolates affect bacterial community recruitment in Arabidopsis thaliana, with allyl-GLS enriching Burkholderiales bacteria.

This study compares two Arabidopsis genotypes to show how immunity and bacterial recruitment interact to influence heat stress tolerance.
