Abstract
The plant xylem microbiota remains understudied. Here, the authors characterise the xylem microbiota in maize plants finding that some bacteria carried N fixing genes. By using synthetic communities the authors confirm that xylem inhabiting and N fixing bacteria provide the host plant with N.
