Marta Torres; Morgan N. Price; Albina Khasanova; et al. New Phytologist 2025. doi:10.1111/nph.70617
Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation The study identified 382 rhizosphere colonization genes in Paraburkholderia graminis OAS925.
- Observation Most colonization genes were substrate dependent.
- Observation Core and substrate-dependent colonization genes came from multiple functional categories.
- Association Root exudate profile differences did not readily explain the varied importance of colonization genes across substrates.
- Association Bacterial fitness for plant colonization was strongly influenced by growth substrate type.
