Plants are capable of building up beneficial rhizosphere communities as is evidenced by disease-suppressive soils. However, it not known how and why soil bacterial impacted plant exposure to foliar pathogens if such responses might improve performance in the presence pathogen. Here, we conditioned growing multiple generations (five) Arabidopsis thaliana inoculated aboveground with Pseudomonas syringae pv tomato (Pst) same soil. We then examined a subsequent generation (sixth) grown...
Plants deposit photosynthetically-fixed carbon in the rhizosphere, thin soil layer directly around root, thereby creating a hospitable environment for microbes. To manage inhabitants of this nutrient-rich environment, plant roots exude and dynamically adjust microbe-attracting -repelling compounds to stimulate specific members microbiome. Previously, we demonstrated that foliar infection Arabidopsis thaliana by biotrophic downy mildew pathogen Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis (Hpa) leads...
Abstract Plants host diverse microbial communities that can be influenced by their hosts to mitigate biotic stress. Previous research demonstrated distinct laboratory cultures of Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis (Hpa) on Arabidopsis thaliana , consistently harbor nearly identical bacteria. In this study, we analyzed the bacterial phyllosphere laboratory-grown spinach plants infected downy mildew pathogen Peronospora effusa (Pe). Using 16S amplicon sequencing, identified 14 Amplicon Sequence...
