Healthy plants host diverse but taxonomically structured communities of microorganisms, the
plant microbiota, that colonize every accessible plant tissue. Plant-associated microbiomes …

Plants form complex interaction networks with diverse microbiomes in the environment, and
the intricate interplay between plants and their associated microbiomes can greatly …

Plant microbiomes are essential to host health and productivity but the ecological processes
that govern crop microbiome assembly are not fully known. Here we examined bacterial …

Plants live in association with diverse microorganisms, collectively called the microbiome.
These microbes live either inside (endosphere) or outside (episphere) of plant tissues …

Background Research on beneficial mechanisms by plant-associated microbiomes, such as
plant growth stimulation and protection from plant pathogens, has gained considerable …

The aboveground parts of terrestrial plants, collectively called the phyllosphere, have a key
role in the global balance of atmospheric carbon dioxide and oxygen. The phyllosphere …

Root-associated microbes play a key role in plant performance and productivity, making
them important players in agroecosystems. So far, very few studies have assessed the …

By changing soil properties, plants can modify their growth environment. Although the soil
microbiota is known to play a key role in the resulting plant-soil feedbacks, the proximal …

Phyllosphere or aerial surface of plants represents the globally largest and peculiar
microbial habitat that inhabits diverse and rich communities of bacteria, fungi, viruses …

Since the colonization of land by ancestral plant lineages 450 million years ago, plants and
their associated microbes have been interacting with each other, forming an assemblage of …
