Now online! Mutually beneficial interactions between bacteria and Arabidopsis promote phosphorus nutrition and growth

dlvr.itMutually beneficial interactions between bacteria and Arabidopsis promote phosphorus nutrition and growthOver 20% of root-associated bacteria promote Arabidopsis seedling growth under phosphorus (P) deficiency in a host-dependent manner. Further analyses showed that P-deficient plants secrete malate to attract Acinetobacter species to the rhizoplane, where the bacteria utilize plant-secreted nitrogen and carbon sources to fuel P mobilization that benefits both parties.
