Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) communicate with plants through roots. The molecular mechanism by which plants and PGPR respond to each other is not very well known. In the current study, we did RNA sequence analysis of Brachypodium distachyon Bd21-3 roots inoculated with PGPR, Bacillus velezensis strain B26. From our list of differentially expressed genes, we concentrated on transcripts that have a high possibility of participating in plant-PGPR interaction. Transcripts associated to the hormone signalling pathway were differentially expressed. We identified the upregulation of various transcripts linked to ion transporters. Reduction in expression of defense signalling genes indicated that B26 suppresses the plant defense mechanisms to begin successful interaction with roots. Transcripts associated with lignin branch of the phenylpropanoid pathway were upregulated as well, leading to more accumulation of lignin in the cell wall which enhances mechanical strength of plants. Overall, this study is an excellent resource for investigating associations between plant-PGPR interactions.

Article Synopsis
- Easily extractable glomalin (EEG) is a type of soil organic matter mainly produced by mycorrhizal fungi, important for soil functions like aggregation and water repellence.
- This study used analytical pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) to analyze the molecular composition of EEG in Mediterranean soils affected by different vegetation and environmental conditions, including forest fires.
- A total of 139 compounds were identified, showing that EEG is rich in lipids and plant-derived materials, and while resilient to heat, it has a composition resembling humic acids rather than typical glycoproteins.

Phosphorus (P) is a macronutrient that plays a crucial role in critical plant functions. Phosphate transporters (PHTs) ensure the acquisition and translocation of Pi in the plant, thereby playing a key role in maintaining normal plant growth under Pi deficiency conditions. In Brachypodium distachyon, the grass model system, the function of individual PHT genes, remains largely unknown.

Root systems are uniquely adapted to fluctuations in external nutrient availability. In response to suboptimal nitrogen conditions, plants adopt a root foraging strategy that favors a deeper and more branched root architecture, enabling them to explore and acquire soil resources. This response is gradually suppressed as nitrogen conditions improve.
