The microbiota populating the plant–soil continuum defines an untapped resource for
sustainable crop production. The host plant is a driver for the taxonomic composition and …

The intensive use of chemical fertilizer, particularly nitrogen (N) has resulted in not only
markedly increased crop yields but also detrimental effects on ecosystems. Plant …

The scientific community increasingly recognized that seed microbiomes are important for
plant growth and nutrition. The versatile roles and modulating properties that microbiomes …

Abstract The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has identified
hybrid rice as ideal for addressing food scarcity in poor nations. A comprehensive …

Pollen is a vector for diversification, fitness-selection, and transmission of plant genetic
material. The extent to which the pollen microbiome may contribute to host diversification is …

Symbiotic microorganisms are essential for promoting plant growth and establishment from
the early stages of plant development. However, the diversity of seed-associated …

Abstract Synthetic Communities (SynComs) are being developed and tested to manipulate
plant microbiota and improve plant health. To date, only few studies proposed the use of …

The plant core microbiota transmitted by seeds have been demonstrated to exist in seeds
and adult plants of several crops for multiple generations. They are closely related to plants …
