Root surface as a frontier for plant microbiome research.
Plants associate—analogous to animals or us humans—with a multitude of microorganisms, which collectively function as a microbiome. A major discovery of the last decade is that numerous organisms of a microbiome (aka microbiota) are not unpretentious background actors. Instead, some microbiota members influence host processes including behavior, appetite, and health in animals (1) and contribut...
متن کاملCaenorhabditis elegans as a Model for Microbiome Research
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is used as a central model system across biological disciplines. Surprisingly, almost all research with this worm is performed in the absence of its native microbiome, possibly affecting generality of the obtained results. In fact, the C. elegans microbiome had been unknown until recently. This review brings together results from the first three studies on C....
متن کاملPLANT MICROBIOME. Salicylic acid modulates colonization of the root microbiome by specific bacterial taxa.
Immune systems distinguish "self" from "nonself" to maintain homeostasis and must differentially gate access to allow colonization by potentially beneficial, nonpathogenic microbes. Plant roots grow within extremely diverse soil microbial communities but assemble a taxonomically limited root-associated microbiome. We grew isogenic Arabidopsis thaliana mutants with altered immune systems in a wi...
متن کاملThe Protein Surface as a Thermodynamic Frontier: A Fractal Approach
The objects in Nature cannot be simply described in terms of the Euclidean geometry. It is difficult to find natural objects that can be represented as perfect spheres, planes and stright lines. Unfortunatelly, when researchers are intent on describing Nature in detail, they usually fall in mathematical descriptions that are extremately complex, many times with no solution. The fractal geometry...
متن کاملMicrobiome Helper: a Custom and Streamlined Workflow for Microbiome Research
Sequence-based approaches to study microbiomes, such as 16S rRNA gene sequencing and metagenomics, are uncovering associations between microbial taxa and a myriad of factors. A drawback of these approaches is that the necessary sequencing library preparation and bioinformatic analyses are complicated and continuously changing, which can be a barrier for researchers new to the field. We present ...
