Résumé Plants influence the soil system by the large proportion of photosynthesized matters
translocated to the roots and secreted into the soil. This root exudation provides an …

Rhizosphere microbes are critical for plant growth and vitality, but the structure of the root-
associated microbial community varies due to site-specific soil factors and plant traits. Here …

The soil is a complex, dynamic and heterogeneous habitat harbouring metabolically active
prokaryotic and eukaryotic communities. In order to improve soil fertility, ie ameliorate soil …

Biological disease control of soilborne plant diseases has traditionally employed the
biopesticide approach whereby single strains or strain mixtures are introduced into …

The effects of soil structure and microbial community composition on microbial resistance
and resilience to stress were found to be interrelated in a series of experiments. The initial …

The diversity of soil microbial communities can be key to the capacity of soils tosuppress soil-
borne plant diseases. As agricultural practice, as well as directedagronomical measures, are …

The effects on bacterial, yeast and fungal communities present within an agricultural soil
treated with a pig slurry-derived digestate were studied using a multidisciplinary …

Minimal tillage management of extensive crops like wheat can provide significant
environmental services but can also lead to adverse interactions between soil borne …

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is an important agricultural crop grown worldwide. Protist
communities and their interaction with prokaryotes in the root zone have been shown to …

If a disease results from the intimate interaction between a plant and a pathogen, its severity
is influenced by environmental factors that affect either the plant, the pathogen, or both. In …
