Network models of soil and plant microbiomes provide new opportunities for enhancing
disease management, but also challenges for interpretation. We present a framework for …

The development of microbial networks is central to ecosystem functioning and is the
hallmark of complex natural systems. Characterizing network development over time and …

Plant microbiome research highlights the importance of indigenous microbial communities
for host phenotypes such as growth and health. It aims to discover the molecular basis by …

Highlights•Each plant microbiome type differs predictably with its surrounding
environment.•While most soil microbes are dormant, the bulk of rhizospheric microbes are …

Since the colonization of land by ancestral plant lineages 450 million years ago, plants and
their associated microbes have been interacting with each other, forming an assemblage of …

The leaf microbiome is influenced by both biotic and abiotic factors. Currently, we know little
about the relative importance of these factors in determining microbiota composition and …

▪ Abstract Identification of the biological properties contributing to the function of suppressive
soils is a necessary first step to the management of such systems for use in the control of …

The diversity of plant-associated microbes is enormous and complex. These microbiomes
are structured and form complex interconnected microbial networks that are important in …

Looking forward includes looking back every now and then. In 2007, David Weller looked
back at 30 years of biocontrol of soil-borne pathogens by Pseudomonas and signified that …

The microbiota colonizing the root endophytic compartment and surrounding rhizosphere
soils contribute to plant growth and health. However, the key members of plant soil and …
