Sphingobium salicis sp. nov., is a plant endophyte isolated from pioneer species of willow, poplar, and salvia growing on primary rock substrate Open
Three Gram-negative Sphingobium endophyte strains, designated WW5 T , 11R-BB, and HT1-2, were isolated from stems of Salix sitchensis , roots of Populus trichocarpa , and shoots of Pluchea carolinensis , respectively, growing on nutrient l…

Endophytes induce systemic spatial reprogramming of metabolism in poplar roots under drought Open
Beneficial endophytes help plants thrive in challenging environments by altering their host’s metabolism, but how these cellular scale metabolic changes propagate to the systems biology scale is unknown. In this work, we employed a high-re…
Root colonizing microbes associated with notable abiotic stress of global food and cash crops Open
The increase in cash crop productivity has helped improve farmers, communities, and economic streams and has served as a source of income. However, the erratic global climate change deeply affects crops' productivity due to the exacerbatin…
Salicaceae endophyte inoculation alters stomatal patterning and improves the intrinsic water-use efficiency of <i>Populus trichocarpa</i> after a water-deficit Open
Microorganisms may enhance plant resilience to water stress by influencing their hosts’ physiology and anatomy at the leaf-level. Bacterial and yeast endophytes, isolated from wild poplar and willow, can improve the intrinsic water-use eff…
Endophyte-Mediated <i>Populus trichocarpa</i> Water Use Efficiency Is Dependent on Time of Day and Plant Water Status Open
Endophytes are potential partners for improving the resource use efficiency of bioenergy feedstock systems such as short rotation coppice Populus species. Endophytes isolated from members of the Salicaceae family have broad host compatibil…
Bacterial synergies amplify nitrogenase activity in diverse systems Open
Endophytes are microbes living within plant tissue, with some having the capacity to fix atmospheric nitrogen in both a free-living state and within their plant host. They are part of a diverse microbial community whose interactions someti…
Dynamic nitrogen fixation in an aerobic endophyte of <i>Populus</i> Open
Biological nitrogen fixation by microbial diazotrophs can contribute significantly to nitrogen availability in non-nodulating plant species. In this study of molecular mechanisms and gene expression relating to biological nitrogen fixation…
Curtobacterium salicis name sp. nov., isolated from willow tree stems in Washington state Open
Curtobacterium sp. strain WW7 is a Gram-positive, non-motile, orange rod-shaped bacterium isolated from branches of wild willow (Salix sitchensis) trees on nitrogen-free media. The WW7 strain shows growth in the temperature range between 4…
