Plant flotillins are required for infection by nitrogen-fixing bacteria

CH Haney, SR Long - … of the National Academy of Sciences, 2010 - National Acad Sciences
To establish compatible rhizobial-legume symbioses, plant roots support bacterial infection
via host-derived infection threads (ITs). Here, we report the requirement of plant flotillin-like …

Associations with rhizosphere bacteria can confer an adaptive advantage to plants

CH Haney, BS Samuel, J Bush, FM Ausubel - Nature plants, 2015 - nature.com
Host-associated microbiomes influence host health. However, it is unclear whether
genotypic variations in host organisms influence the microbiome in ways that have adaptive …
