"inoculation with defined bacterial communities as probiotics is an attractive strategy for safeguarding #PlantHealth. However, to ensure that these inocula are effective, it is necessary to understand how #bacteria and #plants interact under different conditions."

Salty soil sensitizes plants to an unconventional mode of bacterial toxicity

A collaborative study between researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research and the Fraunhofer Institute for Molecular Biology and Applied Ecology has shown how a single metabolite can render bacteria toxic to plants under high salt conditions.
