Root-soil-microbiome management is key to the success of Regenerative Agriculture (2024)
Journal Article
Mooney, S., Castrillo, G., Cooper, H., & Bennett, M. (2024). Root-soil-microbiome management is key to the success of Regenerative Agriculture. Nature Food, 5, 451–453. https://doi.org/10.1038/s43016-024-01001-1

Building soil health and manipulating the soil microbiome, alongside targeted plant breeding that prioritizes preferential root architectural development, hold the key to the future success of regenerative agriculture. Greater integration is needed b... Read More about Root-soil-microbiome management is key to the success of Regenerative Agriculture.

Coordination between microbiota and root endodermis supports plant mineral nutrient homeostasis (2020)
Journal Article
Salas-González, I., Reyt, G., Flis, P., Custódio, V., Gopaulchan, D., Bakhoum, N., …Castrillo, G. (2021). Coordination between microbiota and root endodermis supports plant mineral nutrient homeostasis. Science, 371(6525), Article eabd0695. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.abd0695

Copyright © 2021, American Association for the Advancement of Science. Plant roots and animal guts have evolved specialized cell layers to control mineral nutrient homeostasis. These layers must tolerate the resident microbiota while keeping homeosta... Read More about Coordination between microbiota and root endodermis supports plant mineral nutrient homeostasis.

An extended root phenotype: the rhizosphere, its formation and impacts on plant fitness (2020)
Journal Article
Cantó, C. D. L. F., Simonin, M., King, E., Moulin, L., Bennett, M. J., Castrillo, G., & Laplaze, L. (2020). An extended root phenotype: the rhizosphere, its formation and impacts on plant fitness. Plant Journal, 103(3), 951-964. https://doi.org/10.1111/tpj.14781

© 2020 Society for Experimental Biology and John Wiley & Sons Ltd Plants forage soil for water and nutrients, whose distribution is patchy and often dynamic. To improve their foraging activities, plants have evolved mechanisms to modify the physico... Read More about An extended root phenotype: the rhizosphere, its formation and impacts on plant fitness.

The effects of soil phosphorus content on plant microbiota are driven by the plant phosphate starvation response (2019)
Journal Article
Finkel, O. M., Salas-González, I., Castrillo, G., Spaepen, S., Law, T. F., Teixeira, P. J. P. L., …Dangl, J. L. (2019). The effects of soil phosphorus content on plant microbiota are driven by the plant phosphate starvation response. PLoS Biology, 17(11), 1-34. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.3000534

Phosphate starvation response (PSR) in nonmycorrhizal plants comprises transcriptional reprogramming resulting in severe physiological changes to the roots and shoots and repression of plant immunity. Thus, plant-colonizing microorganisms-the plant m... Read More about The effects of soil phosphorus content on plant microbiota are driven by the plant phosphate starvation response.

Design of synthetic bacterial communities for predictable plant phenotypes (2018)
Journal Article
Herrera Paredes, S., Gao, T., Law, T. F., Finkel, O. M., Mucyn, T., Teixeira, P. J. P. L., …Castrillo, G. (2018). Design of synthetic bacterial communities for predictable plant phenotypes. PLoS Biology, 16(2), Article e2003962. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.2003962

Specific members of complex microbiota can influence host phenotypes, depending on both the abiotic environment and the presence of other microorganisms. Therefore, it is challenging to define bacterial combinations that have predictable host phenoty... Read More about Design of synthetic bacterial communities for predictable plant phenotypes.
