Plant-bacteria partnership reveals how roots access iron locked in soil

A new study led by Paul Schulze-Lefert at the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research shows how Arabidopsis plants communicate with bacteria in their roots to access iron locked in acidic or calcareous soils. This research, published in Cell, could improve our understanding of plant nutrition and soil management.
