phytohormone_syncom_root_microbiome
Root microbiome of phytohormone mutants in synthetic recolonization experiments.
The root bacterial microbiome of Arabidopsis thaliana was profiled, via 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Plants were grown in a sterilized calcined clay substrate inoculated with 37 root isolates plus E. coli. Root endophytic comparment of wild-type plants and isogenic mutants in biosynthesis/signaling of salicylic acid, jasmonic acid and ethylene were profiled. A subset of the plants revceived exogenous aplication of salicylic acid on the leaves.
