The plant endosphere contains a diverse group of microbial communities. There is general
consensus that these microbial communities make significant contributions to plant health …

A vast microbial community inhabits in the rhizosphere, among which, specialized bacteria
known as Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) confer benefits to host plants …

Endophytic fungi infect plant tissues by evading the immune response, potentially
stimulating stress-tolerant plant growth. The plant selectively allows microbial colonization to …

Plants intimately associate with diverse bacteria. Plant-associated bacteria have ostensibly
evolved genes that enable them to adapt to plant environments. However, the identities of …

In current plant disease control, the divergence from chemical pesticide use has been fueled
by the public concern about toxicity and environmental impact of these products, the …

The plant microbiomes play important role in plant growth promotion and soil fertility for
sustainable agriculture. Plant and soil are valuable natural resource harbouring hotspots of …

In natural environments, plants are exposed to diverse microbiota that they interact with in
complex ways. While plant–pathogen interactions have been intensely studied to …

Biodiversity loss from disturbances caused by human activities means that species are
disappearing at an ever increasing rate. The high number of species that have yet to be …

The ecology of forest soils is an important field of research due to the role of forests as
carbon sinks. Consequently, a significant amount of information has been accumulated …

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 …
