Mutually beneficial interactions between bacteria and Arabidopsis promote phosphorus nutrition and growth.

It remains unknown whether plants establish mutualistic relationships with any bacteria to cope with phosphorus (P) limitation.

It remains unknown whether plants establish mutualistic relationships with any bacteria to cope with phosphorus (P) limitation. We characterized root-bacterial microbiome members to show that many of them may cooperate with Arabidopsis to promote seedling P nutrition and growth.…
