Endophytic bacterial communities of alpine Rosaceae plants are affected by the plant tissue, collection site and host plant and culturable psychrotolerant isolates contribute to plant freezing stress tolerance

The paper characterizes endophytic bacterial communities in alpine Rosaceae plants and identifies psychrotolerant isolates that improve freezing stress tolerance in strawberries.

Listening to bacterial Esperanto: transcriptome reprogramming in a plant beneficial rhizobacterium

This study identifies diffusible communication signals (DCSs) that regulate gene expression and functional traits in the plant beneficial bacterium L. capsici AZ78, revealing their role in rhizosphere colonization and microbial competition.
