Plant roots interact with a bewilderingly complex community of microbes, including root-
associated fungi that are essential for maintaining plant health. To improve understanding of …

The root-rhizosphere interface of Populus is the nexus of a variety of associations between
bacteria, fungi, and the host plant and an ideal model for studying interactions between …

Microbial communities in plant roots provide critical links between above‐and belowground
processes in terrestrial ecosystems. Variation in root communities has been attributed to …

Bacterial and fungal communities associated with plant roots are central to the host health,
survival and growth. However, a robust understanding of the root-microbiome and the …

Plant roots are inhabited by a diversity of microorganisms known to be key drivers of plant
growth and health. Although the rules governing root microbiota assembly have been …

Little is known about the influence of host genotype and phytohormones on the composition
of fungal endophytic communities. We investigated the influence of host genotype and …

Plant root-associated microbial symbionts comprise the plant rhizobiome. These microbes
function in provisioning nutrients and water to their hosts, impacting plant health and …

The mycobiome (fungal microbiome) influences plants—from seed germination to full
maturation. While many studies on fungal‐plant interaction studies have focused on known …

Through their roots, trees interact with a highly complex community of microorganisms
belonging to various trophic guilds and contributing to tree nutrition, development, and …

Bacterial and fungal root endophytes can impact the fitness of their host plants, but the
relative importance of drivers for root endophyte communities is not well known. Host plant …
