Despite evidence that the microbiome extends host genetic and phenotypic traits,
information on how the microbiome is transmitted and maintained across generations …

Microorganisms are associated with all plants, recently leading to the hologenome concept.
We reviewed the assembly processes of plant microbiota and analyzed its structure during …

Climate change is pushing species outside of their evolved tolerances. Plant populations
must acclimate, adapt, or migrate to avoid extinction. However, because plants associate …

In flowering plants, strigolactones (SLs) have dual functions as hormones that regulate
growth and development, and as rhizosphere signaling molecules that induce symbiosis …

The origin of a land flora fundamentally shifted the course of evolution of life on earth,
facilitating terrestrialization of other eukaryotic lineages and altering the planet's geology …

There can be no doubt that early land plant evolution transformed the planet but, until
recently, how and when this was achieved was unclear. Coincidence in the first appearance …

Plants interact with a diversity of microorganisms that influence their growth and resilience,
and they can therefore be considered as ecological entities, namely “plant holobionts,” …

Although plant roots encounter a plethora of microorganisms in the surrounding soil, at the
rhizosphere, plants exert selective forces on their bacterial colonizers. Unlike immune …

Plant-associated microbiota can extend plant immune system function, improve nutrient
acquisition and availability, and alleviate abiotic stresses. Thus, naturally beneficial …

Life on Earth has evolved from initial simplicity to the astounding complexity we experience
today. Bacteria and archaea have largely excelled in metabolic diversification, but …
