Plant-microbe interactions dynamically affect plant growth, health, and development. The
mechanisms underpinning these associations are—to a large extent—mediated by …

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 …

Background Plants live with diverse microbial communities which profoundly affect multiple
facets of host performance, but if and how host development impacts the assembly, functions …

Plants constantly come into contact with a diverse mix of pathogenic and beneficial
microbes. The ability to distinguish between them and to respond appropriately is essential …

While horticulture tools and methods have been extensively developed to improve the
management of crops, systems to harness the rhizosphere microbiome to benefit plant crops …

Bidirectional root–shoot signalling is probably key in orchestrating stress responses and
ensuring plant survival. Here, we show that Arabidopsis thaliana responses to microbial root …

Plants share their natural environment with numerous microorganisms, commensal as well
as harmful. Plant fitness and performance are thus dependent on an efficient communication …

Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis (Hpa) is an obligately biotrophic downy mildew that is
routinely cultured on Arabidopsis thaliana hosts that harbour complex microbiomes. We …

Soil-dwelling microbes are the principal inoculum for the root microbiota, but our
understanding of microbe–microbe interactions in microbiota establishment remains …

Root exudates play an essential role in helping plants to cope with abiotic stress. However,
the modulation of root exudation profiles under multiple stress conditions is still poorly …
