Spatially distributed metabolites SWEETen the root for microbes

Cell Host Microbe. 2024 Apr 10;32(4):445-447. doi: 10.1016/j.chom.2024.03.006.ABSTRACTLimited understanding exists on the spatial configuration of underground plant-microbe interactions. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Loo et al. illustrate the sugar transporter-involved interdependent interaction between root metabolites and microbial spatial colonization, providing insights into metabolic-associated organization of plant-microbe interactions.PMID:38604122 | DOI:10.1016/j.chom.2024.03.006
