Climate change is increasing global temperatures and the frequency and severity of
droughts in many regions. These anthropogenic stresses pose a significant threat to plant …

The root microbiome refers to the community of microbes living in association with a plant's
roots, and includes mutualists, pathogens, and commensals. Here we focus on recent …

Despite advances in sequencing, lack of standardization makes comparisons across studies
challenging and hampers insights into the structure and function of microbial communities …

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

Stimulating the development of soil suppressiveness against certain pathogens represents a
sustainable solution toward reducing pesticide use in agriculture. However, understanding …

The increasing frequency of extreme weather events highlights the need to understand how
soil microbiomes respond to such disturbances. Here, metagenomics was used to …

Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis (Hpa) is an obligately biotrophic downy mildew that is
routinely cultured on Arabidopsis thaliana hosts that harbour complex microbiomes. We …

Microbiomes play a pivotal role in plant growth and health, but the genetic factors involved in
microbiome assembly remain largely elusive. Here, we map the molecular features of the …

Abiotic stress poses a severe danger to agriculture since it negatively impacts cellular
homeostasis and eventually stunts plant growth and development. Abiotic stressors like …

The development of strategies for effectively manipulating and engineering beneficial plant-
associated microbiomes is a major challenge in microbial ecology. In this sense, the efficacy …
