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 identifies umbrella toxin particles produced by Streptomyces that inhibit the growth of competing bacterial species, distinct from small molecule antibiotics.

This study uses host-mediated selection to improve rice drought tolerance by identifying beneficial microbial communities and their associated functions.

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.

The paper investigates corrinoid production and dependence in soil bacteria to understand metabolic interactions, finding metabolic compatibility and conserved traits across genera.
