Glucosinolate structural diversity shapes recruitment of a metabolic network of leaf-associated bacteria

Abstract Host defenses can have broader ecological roles, but how they shape natural microbiome recruitment is poorly understood. Aliphatic glucosinolates (GLSs) are secondary defense metabolites in Brassicaceae plant leaves. Their genetically defined structure shapes interactions with pests in Arab...
