This study investigates how rhizobia move within root infection threads using modeling, imaging, and mutant analysis, finding that flagella-independent surface translocation and rhizobactin 1021 secretion are key for colonization.

The paper identifies a new group of LysM-RLK receptors that bind both LCO and CO, playing a complementary role with LYR-IA receptors in arbuscular mycorrhiza formation.

This study shows that the common symbiotic pathway genes are essential for arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis in bryophytes, indicating conservation of this pathway for 450 million years.
