It is reported that diffusible signals from A. brasilense can promote rice growth without direct contact between bacteria and plant roots, 7 days post-treatment, and transcriptomic analysis suggests that flavonoids may be required throughout the interaction, whereas nitrate transporters appear to be involved at later s...
