Enhanced Endophytic Colonization of Flavobacterium Promotes Plant Resistance to Fusarium Wilt.
Article in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Microbial taxa in the soil microbiome with specific ecological functions play crucial roles in plant health. Flavobacterium is found closely associated with physiological functions that promote plant growth and enhance disease resistance. While cooperative interactions mediated by metabolite exchange can stabilize microbial consortia, the specific interactions between these consortia and plants remain understudied, particularly regarding their application in plant disease control. Here, we isolate a natural microbial consortium comprising Achromobacter, Flavobacterium, and Bacillus strains from cucumber rhizosphere soil, and identify the Flavobacterium strain as a methionine auxotroph. This study reveals the metabolic interactions among strains within a cross-feeding-based consortium. The Achromobacter and Bacillus primarily metabolize carbon and nitrogen sources, respectively, whereas the relevant genes in the Flavobacterium are significantly downregulated. The consortium develops significantly enhanced biofilms with a distinct stratified architecture, facilitating root endophytic colonization by Achromobacter and Flavobacterium. Endophytic Flavobacterium induces systemic resistance in plants, thereby enhancing resistance against phytopathogenic fungal infections. Our findings reveal a novel ecological strategy employed by auxotrophic Flavobacterium species for both microbial interactions and root endophytic colonization and provide a theoretical foundation for microbial consortium-based microbial inoculants in plant disease management.
