The glucosinolates (GSLs) is a well-defined group of plant metabolites characterized by
having an S-β-d-glucopyrano unit anomerically connected to an O-sulfated (Z) …

The factors that contribute to the composition of the root microbiome and, in turn, affect plant
fitness are not well understood. Recent work has highlighted a major contribution of the soil …

One of the major questions in contemporary plant science involves determining the
functional mechanisms that plants use to shape their microbiome. Plants produce a plethora …

Sulfur plays a critical role for the development and maintenance of life on earth, which is
reflected by the wealth of primary metabolites, macromolecules, and cofactors bearing this …

A staggering diversity of endophytic fungi associate with healthy plants in nature, but it is
usually unclear whether these represent stochastic encounters or provide host fitness …

The innate immune system of plants recognizes microbial pathogens and terminates their
growth. However, recent findings suggest that at least one layer of this system is also …

The microbiome plays an important role in shaping plant growth and immunity, but few plant
genes and pathways impacting plant microbiome composition have been reported. In …

Plant secondary metabolites carry out numerous functions in interactions between plants
and a broad range of other organisms. Experimental evidence strongly supports the …

Glucosinolates are secondary defense metabolites produced by plants of the order
