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

Abiotic stresses are the most significant factors reducing agricultural productivity. Plants face
extreme environmental conditions that may affect their biological mechanisms, thereby …

We present QIIME 2, an opensource microbiome data science platform accessible to users
spanning the microbiome research ecosystem, from scientists and engineers to clinicians …

To the Editor—Rapid advances in DNA-sequencing and bioinformatics technologies in the
past two decades have substantially improved understanding of the microbial world. This …

Most trees form symbioses with ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) which influence access to
growth-limiting soil resources. Mesocosm experiments repeatedly show that EMF species …

Community assembly of crop-associated fungi is thought to be strongly influenced by
deterministic selection exerted by the plant host, rather than stochastic processes. Here we …

High biodiversity aboveground tends to increase the stability of ecosystem functioning when
faced with a changing environment. However, whether and how soil biota affect ecosystem …

We urgently need to predict species responses to climate change to minimize future
biodiversity loss and ensure we do not waste limited resources on ineffective conservation …

Background Understanding the genetic and environmental factors that structure plant
microbiomes is necessary for leveraging these interactions to address critical needs in …

Interactions between plants and microbes have important influences on evolutionary
processes, population dynamics, community structure, and ecosystem function. We review …
