Harnessing plant‐associated microbiomes offers an invaluable strategy to help agricultural
production become more sustainable while also meeting growing demands for food, feed …

Microorganisms are an important element in modeling sustainable agriculture. Their role in
soil fertility and health is crucial in maintaining plants' growth, development, and yield …

Seeds of the parasitic weed Phelipanche ramosa are well adapted to their hosts because
they germinate and form haustorial structures to connect to roots in response to diverse host …

Purpose The root holoparasitic plant Phelipanche ramosa has become a major constraint for
rapeseed cultivation in western France for the last decades and its control remains …

Little is known about the microbiomes of flower parts, and even less information is available
regarding these microorganisms' colonization of specific niches in parasitic plants. We …

We explored the seed-associated bacterial endophytic microbiome in seeds of the endemic
holoparasitic species Cistanche armena from a saline and arid habitat in Armenia. A …

Endophytic microbiomes play a beneficial role in the development and protection of plants.
However, seed-borne endophytic bacteria have not yet been fully explored. Investigation of …

Microbiomes play vital roles in insect fitness and health and can be influenced by
interactions between insects and their parasites. Many studies investigate the microbiome of …

Background Microbial communities have occasionally been observed in part of the
ephemeric reproductive structure of floral stigmas, but their prevalence, phylogenetic …

How the unique heterotrophic life history of parasitic plants influences the root and
rhizosphere microbiota of symbiotic host plants is relatively unknown. In this study, we used …
