Plants recruit specific microorganisms to live inside and outside their roots that provide
essential functions for plant growth and health. The study of the microbial communities living …

The foliar microbiome can extend the host plant phenotype by expanding its genomic and
metabolic capabilities. Despite increasing recognition of the importance of the foliar …

Healthy plants host diverse but taxonomically structured communities of microorganisms, the
plant microbiota, that colonize every accessible plant tissue. Plant-associated microbiomes …

Plants form complex interaction networks with diverse microbiomes in the environment, and
the intricate interplay between plants and their associated microbiomes can greatly …

Background The plant microbiome is an integral part of the host and increasingly recognized
as playing fundamental roles in plant growth and health. Increasing evidence indicates that …

Background The phyllosphere is an important microbial habitat, but our understanding of
how plant hosts drive the composition of their associated leaf microbial communities and …

Trees are crucial for sustaining life on our planet. Forests and land devoted to tree crops do
not only supply essential edible products to humans and animals, but also additional goods …

The plant microbiome is known to be influenced by certain biotic as well as abiotic factors.
Nevertheless, the drivers for specific changes in microbial community composition and …

Diverse host factors drive microbial variation in plant‐associated environments, whereas
their genetic mechanisms remain largely unexplored. To address this, we coupled the …

The phyllosphere is a fluctuant micro-environment habitat that harbors diverse microbial
communities that have the potential to influence plant growth through their effect on host …
