A model system based on the Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. Ws ecotype and its naturally colonizing Pseudomonas thivervalensis rhizobacteria was defined. Pseudomonas strains colonizing A. thaliana were found to modify the root architecture either in vivo or in vitro. A gnotobiotic system using bacteria labelled with green fluorescent protein revealed that P. thivervalensis exhibited a colonization profile similar to that of other rhizobacterial species. Mutants of A. thaliana affected in root hair development and possible hormone perception were used to analyze the plant genetic determinants of bacterial colonization. A screen for mutants insensitive to P. thivervalensis colonization yielded two mutants found to be auxin resistant. This further supports a proposed role for bacterial auxin in inducing morphological modifications of roots. This work paves the way for studying the interaction between plants and non-pathogenic rhizobacteria in a gnotobiotic system, derived from a natural association, where interactions between both partners can be genetically dissected.

Mediator25 (MED25) has been ascribed as a signal-processing and -integrating center that controls jasmonate (JA)-induced and MYC2-dependent transcriptional output. A better understanding of the regulation of MED25 stability will undoubtedly advance our knowledge of the precise regulation of JA signaling-related transcriptional output. Here, we report that Arabidopsis MED16 activates JA-responsive gene expression by promoting MED25 stability.

Zoologists have adduced morphological convergence among embryonic stages of closely related taxa, which has been called the phylotypic stage of embryogenesis. Transcriptomic analyzes reveal an hourglass pattern of gene expression during plant and animal embryogenesis, characterized by the accumulation of evolutionarily older and conserved transcripts during mid-embryogenesis, whereas younger less-conserved transcripts predominate at earlier and later embryonic stages. In contrast, comparisons of embryonic gene expression among different animal phyla describe an inverse hourglass pattern, where expression is correlated during early and late stages but not during mid-embryo development.
