Agricultural intensification has had long-lasting negative legacies largely because of
excessive inputs of agrochemicals (eg, fertilizers) and simplification of cropping systems (eg …

Substantial efforts to characterize the structural and functional diversity of soil, plant and
insect-associated microbial communities have illuminated the complex interacting domains …

Harnessing plant‐associated microbiomes offers an invaluable strategy to help agricultural
production become more sustainable while also meeting growing demands for food, feed …

Crop losses from pests threaten global food security and safety. In the last six decades, pest
control using chemical pesticides has resulted in important yield gains per unit area …

Engineering plant microbiomes has the potential to improve plant health in a rapid and
sustainable way. Rapidly changing climates and relatively long timelines for plant breeding …

The agricultural sector and environmental safety both work hand in hand to promote
sustainability in important issues like soil health, plant nutrition, food safety, and security …

Plant–fungal interactions are widespread in nature, and their multiple benefits for plant
growth and health have been amply demonstrated. Endophytic and epiphytic fungi can …

Within the past decades, nanoparticles (NPs) have become common components of
electronics, batteries, cosmetics, clothing, and even dietary supplements. Despite their …

Roots are the interface between the plant and the soil and play a central role in multiple
ecosystem processes. With intensification of agricultural practices, rhizosphere processes …

Plant secondary metabolites that are released into the rhizosphere alter biotic and abiotic
soil properties, which in turn affect the performance of other plants. How this type of plant …
