ZeaMiC provides a culture collection of maize root-associated bacteria to study plant-microbe and microbe-microbe interactions.

The paper investigates how benzoxazinoid-conditioned soil microbiomes enhance Arabidopsis growth and defense through priming mechanisms.

This study compares two microcosm systems for simultaneously monitoring root exudates and microbial community dynamics, finding that the glass bead system better captures dynamic exudate shifts during bacterial community establishment.

The paper shows that soil iron levels mediate maize microbiome feedbacks on wheat growth, with beneficial effects at low iron levels and negative effects at high iron levels.

The paper studies how synthetic communities of maize root bacteria interact to alter benzoxazinoid metabolization, leading to increased community tolerance and alternative degradation products.

This study examines how chemical stressors affect microbiomes across different food chain components, finding component-specific responses and shifts in microbial composition and stability.

The paper identifies MMF1, an immune receptor in Arabidopsis, that mediates microbiome feedbacks by influencing root bacterial communities and defense responses.

The paper investigates time-resolved multi-omic changes in Arabidopsis thaliana under microbial elicitors, finding amino acids as key early indicators of defense responses.

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