Abstract Leaves are colonized by a complex mix of microbes, termed the leaf microbiota. Even though microbiota is increasingly recognized as an integral part plant life and health, our understanding its interactions with host still limited. Here, mature, axenically grown Arabidopsis thaliana plants were spray inoculated six diverse leaf‐colonizing bacteria. The transcriptomic changes in leaves tracked over time significant ethylene marker ( ARL2 ) expression observed only 2–4 days after...
Plants are colonised by millions of microorganisms representing thousands species with varying effects on plant growth and health. The microbial communities found plants compositionally consistent their overall positive effect the is well known. However, individual microbiota members hosts vice versa, as underlying mechanisms, remain largely unknown. Here, we describe “Litterbox”, a highly controlled system to investigate plant–microbe interactions. were grown gnotobiotically, otherwise...

ABSTRACT Leaves host remarkably diverse microbes, collectively referred to as the leaf microbiota. While many beneficial functions have been attributed plant microbiota, individual contributions of leaf-colonising bacteria range from pathogenic mutualistic interactions. Omics approaches demonstrated that some evoke substantial changes in gene expression and metabolic profiles host, including immunity. omic provide a system level view on cellular functions, they are costly laborious, thereby...
