The synthesis of plantaricin in Lactobacillus plantarum is regulated by quorum sensing. However, the nature of the extra-cytoplasmic (EC) sensing domain of the histidine kinase (PlnB1) and the ability to recognize the auto-inducing peptide PlnA1 is n...

Plant Journal, 106(2), 536-554. https://doi.org/10.1111/tpj.15177

Soil is a heterogenous reservoir of essential elements needed for plant growth and development. Plants have evolved mechanisms to balance their nutritional needs based on availability of nutrients. This has led to genetically‐based variation in the e...

The Casparian strip (CS) constitutes a physical diffusion barrier to water and nutrients in plant roots, which is formed by the polar deposition of lignin polymer in the endodermis tissue. The precise pattern of lignin deposition is determined by the... Read More about A Novel Signaling Pathway Required for Arabidopsis Endodermal Root Organization Shapes the Rhizosphere Microbiome.
