In the past few decades, the control of pests and diseases of cultivated plants using natural
and biological measures has drawn increasing attention in the quest to reduce the level of …

Plants are hosts to complex communities of endophytic bacteria that colonize the interior of
both below-and aboveground tissues. Bacteria living inside plant tissues as endophytes can …

Endophytic microorganisms present inside the host plant play an essential role in host
fitness, nutrient supply and stress tolerance. Endophytes are often used in sustainable …

Plants are colonized by a multitude of micro-organisms, collectively called “microbiome,”
and which play essential roles in the niches they inhabit. The potential of the microbiome …

Phytobeneficial microbes, particularly endophytes, such as fungi and bacteria, are
concomitant partners of plants throughout its developmental stages, including seed …

Background Plants and their associated microbiota constitute an assemblage of species
known as holobionts. The plant seed microbiome plays an important role in nutrient uptake …

Plants forage soil for water and nutrients, whose distribution is patchy and often dynamic. To
improve their foraging activities, plants have evolved mechanisms to modify the …

Background The interplay between hosts and their associated microbiome is now
recognized as a fundamental basis of the ecology, evolution, and development of both …

Plant seeds are home to diverse microbial communities whose composition is determined
by plant genotype, environment, and management practices. Plant domestication is now …

Seed microbiota constitutes a primary inoculum for plants that is gaining attention owing to
its role for plant health and productivity. Here, we performed a meta‐analysis on 63 seed …
