The lactonase BxdA mediates metabolic adaptation of maize root bacteria to benzoxazinoids

L. Thoenen, M. Kreuzer, M. Florean, P. Mateo, T. Zuest, C. Giroud, L. Rouyer, V. Gfeller, M. Notter, E. Knoch, S. Hapfelmeier, C. Becker, N. Schandry, C. Robert, T. Koellner, , K. Schlaeppi

The paper identifies BxdA, a lactonase in maize root bacteria, which enables metabolic adaptation to benzoxazinoids, enhancing bacterial growth under carbon limitation.

Soil chemical and microbial gradients determine accumulation of root exuded secondary metabolites and plant-soil feedbacks in the field

V. Gfeller, S. Cadot, S. Gulliver, J. Waelchli, C. Terrettaz, L. Thoenen, P. Mateo, C. Robert, F. Mascher, T. Steinger, M. Bigalke, M. Erb, K. Schlaeppi

This study shows that soil chemical and microbial gradients influence benzoxazinoid accumulation and plant-soil feedbacks in a field, with feedback effects varying along these gradients.

Bacterial tolerance to host-exuded specialized metabolites structures the maize root microbiome

L. Thoenen, C. Giroud, M. Kreuzer, J. Waelchli, V. Gfeller, G. Deslandes-Herold, P. Mateo, C. A. M. Robert, C. Ahrens, I. Rubio-Somoza, M. Erb, K. Schlaeppi

The paper shows that bacterial tolerance to benzoxazinoids, a type of plant specialized metabolite, determines their abundance in maize root microbiomes.

Soil composition and plant genotype determine benzoxazinoid-mediated plant-soil feedbacks in cereals

S. Cadot, V. Gfeller, L. Hu, N. Singh, A. Sanchez-Vallet, G. Glauser, D. Croll, M. Erb, M. Heijden, K. Schlaeppi

The paper shows that benzoxazinoid-mediated plant-soil feedbacks in cereals depend on soil type and genotype, with cultivar-specific effects on growth and insect resistance.

Specific and conserved patterns of microbiota-structuring by maize benzoxazinoids in the field

S. Cadot, H. Guan, M. Bigalke, J.-C. Walser, G. Jander, M. Erb, M. van der Heijden, K. Schlaeppi

This study shows that maize secretes benzoxazinoids (BXs) that shape root and rhizosphere microbiota, with BXs significantly affecting fungal communities across different soil types.
