A rhizobial extracellular vesicle-conveyed auxin transporter mediates phytohormone mobilization and optimizes rhizobium-legume symbiosis
This work reveals a previously unrecognized mechanism of interdomain hormonal modulation, where a bacterium uses a structurally convergent transporter and vesicular delivery to actively shape host physiology and to improve the symbiotic performance.
