Recent discoveries show that plant recruitment of fungi and bacteria in a non‐mycorrhizal host follows different strategies dependent on phosphate availability. A new study by Morcillo et al (2019) demonstrates that volatile compounds synthesized by rhizobacteria contribute to phosphate starvation response‐dependent regulation of bacterial colonization and immune system activation in Arabidopsis thaliana plants.
