In this work, we tested how carbon supplements modulate the interaction of <em>Pseudomonas chlororaphis</em> with <em>Arabidopsis thaliana.

Noteworthy, increasing sucrose availability into the media from 0 to 2.4% restored plant growth and promoted lateral root formation in bacterized seedlings. This effect could not be observed by supplementing sucrose to leaves only, indicating that the interaction was strongly modulated by bacterial access to sugar. Total phenazine content decreased in the bacteria grown in high (2.4%) sucrose medium, and conversely, the expression of <em>phzH</em> and <em>pslA</em> genes were diminished by sugar supply. Pyocyanin antagonized the promoting effects of sucrose in lateral root formation and biomass production in inoculated seedlings, indicating that this virulence factor accounts for growth repression during the plant-bacterial interaction. Defence reporter transgenes <em>PR-1::GUS</em> and <em>LOX2::GUS</em> were induced in leaves, while the expression of the auxin-inducible, synthetic reporter gene <em>DR5::GUS</em> was enhanced in the roots of bacterized seedlings at low and high sucrose treatments, which suggests that growth/defence trade-offs in plants are critically modulated by <em>P. chlororaphis</em>.

Therefore, this work investigates the systemic regulation of sulfur transportation in the model legume <em>Lotus japonicus</em> by applying stable isotope labeling to a split-root system. Metabolite and protein extraction together with mass spectrometry analyses were conducted to determine the plants molecular phenotype and relative isotope protein abundances. Data show that treatments of varying sulfate concentrations including the absence of sulfate on one side of a nodulated root was not affecting nodule development as long as the other side of the root system was provided with sufficient sulfate. Concentrations of shoot metabolites did not indicate a significant stress response caused by a lack of sulfur. Further, we did not observe any quantitative changes in proteins involved in biological nitrogen fixation in response to the different sulfate treatments. Relative isotope abundance of <sup>34</sup>S confirmed a long-distance transport of sulfur from one side of the roots to the other side and into the nodules.

In general, substantial differences were found in the abundance of different hormonal classes, with Merlot Kanthus reporting higher concentrations of cytokinins while Sauvignon Kretos higher concentrations of auxins, jasmonate and salicylic acid.

Regarding the expression of aquaporin encoding genes, Merlot Kanthus showed a significant downregulation of <em>VvPIP2;1</em> and <em>VvTIP2;1</em> in leaves exposed to water stress.
