Rhodanobacter enhances drought tolerance through a KAI2-interacting isoflavone
Plant Science Research WeeklyA new paper by Sun et al. demonstrates a pathway through which drought tolerance in Arabidopsis is influenced by soil microbiota. Using transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses, Sun et al. identified a strain of Rhodanobacter that is recruited to the rhizosphere of drought-stressed plants and can help…
KARRIKIN INSENSITIVE2-dependent signaling in the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha
The Plant Cell: In a NutshellMizuno et al. show that genes in the KARRIKIN INSENSITIVE2-dependent signaling pathway are conserved in the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha and control early development of the thallus.
