Cooperation between a root fungal endophyte and host‐derived coumarin scopoletin mediates Arabidopsis iron nutrition
Iron acquisition is a critical challenge for plants, especially in iron-deficient soils. Recent research underscores the importance of root-exuded coumarins in modulating the root microbiome communi.....

Host-adapted enzymatic deconstruction of acetylated xylan enables mutualistic colonization of monocot roots
Intracellular accommodation of mutualistic fungi in plant roots depends on selective remodeling of host cell walls while minimizing activation of plant immune responses. In this study, we identify a h...
