A growing body of research is highlighting the impacts root-associated microbial
communities can have on plant health and development. These impacts can include …

The root microbiome refers to the community of microbes living in association with a plant's
roots, and includes mutualists, pathogens, and commensals. Here we focus on recent …

Plant roots are colonized by a multitude of microbial taxa that dynamically influence plant
health. Plant-microbe interactions at the root-soil interface occur at the micro-scale and are …

Plant roots host numerous microorganisms around and inside their roots, forming a
community known as the root microbiome. An increasing bulk of research is underlining the …

Across plants and animals, host-associated microbial communities play fundamental roles in
host nutrition, development, and immunity. The factors that shape host–microbiome …

Plants host a mesmerizing diversity of microbes inside and around their roots, known as the
microbiome. The microbiome is composed mostly of fungi, bacteria, oomycetes, and …

Plants growing in soil develop close associations with soil microorganisms, which inhabit
the areas around, on, and inside their roots. These microbial communities and their …

Plant microbiomes are critical to host adaptation and impact plant productivity and health.
Root-associated microbiomes vary by soil and host genotype, but the contribution of these …

Land plants interact with microbes primarily at roots. Despite the importance of root microbial
communities for health and nutrient uptake, the current understanding of the complex plant …

The diversity of microbes associated with plant roots is enormous, in the order of tens of
thousands of species. This complex plant-associated microbial community, also referred to …
