Abstract:ThePseudomonasgenus has shown great potential as a sustainable solution to support agriculture through its plant-growth promoting and biocontrol activities. However, their efficacy as bioinoculants is limited by unpredictable colonization in natural conditions. Our study identifies theiollocus, a gene cluster inPseudomonasinvolved in inositol catabolism, as a feature enriched among superior root colonizers in natural soil. Further characterization revealed that theiollocus increases competitiveness by inducing… Show more
