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 …

Fusarium wilt disease is a growing problem in agriculture systems. Application of bio-
fertilizers containing beneficial microbes represents a promising disease control strategy …

Soil microbiome manipulation can potentially reduce the use of pesticides by improving the
ability of soils to resist or recover from pathogen infestation, thus generating natural …

Soil-borne diseases, especially those caused by fungal pathogens, lead to profound annual
yield losses. One key example for such a disease is Fusarium wilt disease in banana. In …

It is widely known that some soils have strong levels of disease suppression and prevent the
establishment of pathogens in the rhizosphere of plants. However, what soils are better …

Plant core microbiomes consist of persistent key members that provide critical host functions,
but their assemblages can be interrupted by biotic and abiotic stresses. The pathobiome is …

The taxonomically diverse rhizosphere microbiome contributes to plant nutrition, growth and
health, including protection against soil-borne pathogens. We previously showed that …

Plant-pathogen interactions are shaped by multiple environmental factors, making it difficult
to predict disease dynamics even in relatively simple agricultural monocultures. Here, we …

Plant pathogenic bacteria cause high crop and economic losses to human societies,–.
Infections by such pathogens are challenging to control as they often arise through complex …

Aims Continuous cropping of watermelon is known to result in the disruption of the
rhizospheric bacteria and fungi that contribute to the occurrence of Fusarium wilt disease …
