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

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 …

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 …

One of the most exciting scientific advances in recent decades has been the realization that
the diverse and immensely active microbial communities are not only 'passengers' with …

Plants intimately associate with diverse bacteria. Plant-associated bacteria have ostensibly
evolved genes that enable them to adapt to plant environments. However, the identities of …

Plant-associated microbes are important for the growth and health of their hosts. As a result
of numerous prior studies, we know that host genotypes and abiotic factors influence the …

Plants in nature are constantly exposed to a variety of abiotic and biotic stresses which limits
their growth and production. Enhancing crop yield and production to feed exponentially …

Plants depend upon beneficial interactions between roots and microbes for nutrient
availability, growth promotion, and disease suppression. High-throughput sequencing …

Almost all land plants form symbiotic associations with mycorrhizal fungi. These below‐
ground fungi play a key role in terrestrial ecosystems as they regulate nutrient and carbon …

Plants associate with communities of microbes (bacteria and fungi) that play critical roles in
plant development, nutrient acquisition and oxidative stress tolerance. The major share of …
