Introduction: Plants do not grow in isolation, rather they are hosts to a variety of microbes in
their natural environments. While, few thrive in the plants for their own benefit, others may …

The success of sustainable agricultural practices has now become heavily dependent on the
interactions between crop plants and their associated microbiome. Continuous …

Most eukaryotes develop close interactions with microorganisms that are essential for their
performance and survival. Thus, eukaryotes and prokaryotes in nature can be considered as …

Advances in high throughput omics techniques provide avenues to decipher plant
microbiomes. However, there is limited information on how integrated informatics can help …

Plants in their natural habitats are surrounded by a large number of microorganisms. Some
microbes directly interact with plants in a mutually beneficial manner whereas others …

Of the many ways that plants interact with microbes, three aspects are highlighted in this
issue: interactions where the plant benefits from the microbes, interactions where the plant …

There is a growing appreciation for the important roles microorganisms play in association
with plants. Microorganisms are drawn to distinct plant surfaces by the nutrient-rich …

Abiotic stresses are the most significant factors reducing agricultural productivity. Plants face
extreme environmental conditions that may affect their biological mechanisms, thereby …

Plant–microbiome interactions are significant determinant for plant growth, fitness and
productivity. Depending upon the specific habitat, plants' microbial communities are …

Plants are associated with hundreds of thousands of microbes that are present outside on
the surfaces or colonizing inside plant organs, such as leaves and roots. Plant-associated …
