The concept of one health highlights that human health is not isolated but connected to the
health of animals, plants and environments. In this Review, we demonstrate that soils are a …

Modern intensive agricultural practices face numerous challenges that pose major threats to
global food security. In order to address the nutritional requirements of the ever-increasing …

Root exudates are plant-derived, exported metabolites likely shaping root-associated
microbiomes by acting as nutrients and signals. However, root exudation dynamics are …

Drought is one of the major constraints to rain-fed agricultural production, especially under
climate change conditions. Plants evolved an array of adaptive strategies that perceive …

Acidobacteria represents an underrepresented soil bacterial phylum whose members are
pervasive and copiously distributed across nearly all ecosystems. Acidobacterial sequences …

Plant microbiomes are essential to host health and productivity but the ecological processes
that govern crop microbiome assembly are not fully known. Here we examined bacterial …

The aboveground parts of terrestrial plants are colonized by a variety of microbes that
collectively constitute the phyllosphere microbiota. Decades of pioneering work using …

The root microbiome refers to the community of microbes living in association with a plant's
roots, and includes mutualists, pathogens, and commensals. Here we focus on recent …

The soil microbiome is highly diverse and comprises up to one quarter of Earth's diversity.
Yet, how such a diverse and functionally complex microbiome influences ecosystem …

Global population growth poses a threat to food security in an era of increased ecosystem
degradation, climate change, soil erosion, and biodiversity loss. In this context, harnessing …
