Colonization of plants by nonpathogenic Pseudomonas fluorescens strains can confer
enhanced defense capacity against a broad spectrum of pathogens. Few studies, however …

Pseudomonas fluorescens and related plant root (“rhizosphere”)-associated species
contribute to plant health by modulating defenses and facilitating nutrient uptake. To identify …

Plants form commensal associations with soil microorganisms, creating a root microbiome
that provides benefits, including protection against pathogens. While bacteria can inhibit …

Systemic resistance induced in plants by nonpathogenic rhizobacteria is typically effective
against multiple pathogens. Here, we show that root-colonizing Pseudomonas fluorescens …

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are increasingly appreciated for their
contributions to primary productivity through promotion of growth and triggering of induced …

Pseudomonas fluorescens strain SS101 (Pf. SS101) promotes growth of Arabidopsis
thaliana, enhances greening and lateral root formation, and induces systemic resistance …

Plants are colonized by a variety of bacteria, most of which are not pathogenic. Currently, the
plant responses to phyllosphere commensals or to pathogen infection in the presence of …

The outcome of bacterial infection in plants is determined by the ability of the pathogen to
successfully occupy the apoplastic space and deliver a constellation of effectors that …

Host-associated bacteria can have both beneficial and detrimental effects on host health.
While some of the molecular mechanisms that determine these outcomes are known, little is …

Host-associated microbiomes influence host health. However, it is unclear whether
genotypic variations in host organisms influence the microbiome in ways that have adaptive …
