Live imaging of root–bacteria interactions in a microfluidics setup
Open accessAbstract
Significance: Microbial interactions in the rhizosphere, the microenvironment surrounding plant roots, are a major research area for both plant biologists and microbial ecologists. A significant obstacle in this field is the difficulty in studying root–bacteria interactions in real time. Here, we developed a microfluidics-based device that allows dynamic imaging of root–bacterial interactions at previously unattainable spatiotemporal resolutions. The intimate interaction of Bacillus subtilis with plant roots is accurately traced in high resolution to the root elongation zone. We further reveal how bacterial behavior leads to rapid root colonization and exclusion of competing bacteria. Hence, this approach has the potential to transform our understanding of root–bacteria interactions and the modulation of bacterial communities colonizing the root surface.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
