A specialized metabolic network selectively modulates Arabidopsis root microbiota

Abstract
Mix of metabolites tunes root microbiota Uncharacterized biosynthetic genes in plant genomes suggest that plants make a plethora of specialized metabolites. Huang et al. reconstructed three biosynthetic networks from the small mustard plant Arabidopsis thaliana . Promiscuous acyltransferases and dehydrogenases contributed to metabolite diversification. The plant may use these specialized metabolites to modulate the microbiota surrounding its roots. Disruption of the pathways and intervention with purified compounds caused changes in the root microbiota. Science , this issue p. eaau6389
