diverse chemical selection pressures—is influenced by complex interactions between …

The plant-associated microbiome is known to be a critical component for crop growth,
nutrient acquisition, resistance to pathogens, and abiotic stress tolerance. Conventional …

Soil is an immense habitat for diverse organisms across the tree of life, but just how many
organisms live in soil is surprisingly unknown. Previous efforts to enumerate soil biodiversity …

Alternative solutions to mineral fertilizers and pesticides that reduce the environmental
impact of agriculture are urgently needed. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can enhance …

Soil-borne pathogens pose a major threat to food production worldwide, particularly under
global change and with growing populations. Yet, we still know very little about how the soil …

Factors driving microbial community composition and diversity are well established but the
relationship with microbial functioning is poorly understood, especially at large scales. We …

Soil fungi are a key constituent of global biodiversity and play a pivotal role in
agroecosystems. How arable farming affects soil fungal biogeography and whether it has a …

Soil harbors a vast expanse of unidentified microbes, termed as microbial dark matter,
presenting an untapped reservoir of microbial biodiversity and genetic resources, but has …

Exploiting the potential benefits of plant-associated microbes represents a sustainable
approach to enhancing crop productivity. Plant-beneficial bacteria (PBB) provide multiple …

Bacteroidetes are prevalent in soil ecosystems and are associated with various eukaryotic
hosts, including plants, animals, and humans. The ubiquity and diversity of Bacteroidetes …
