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

Plants are hosts to complex communities of endophytic bacteria that colonize the interior of
both below-and aboveground tissues. Bacteria living inside plant tissues as endophytes can …

Microbiomes have highly important roles for ecosystem functioning and carry out key
functions that support planetary health, including nutrient cycling, climate regulation, and …

Grapevines (Vitis vinifera) are colonized by ubiquitous microorganisms known as
endophytes, which may have advantageous or neutral effects without causing disease …

Endophytism within Vitis represents a topic of critical relevance due to the multiple
standpoints from which it can be approached and considered. From the biological and …

Microbiomes are integral to viticulture and winemaking–collectively termed winegrowing–
where diverse fungi and bacteria can exert positive and negative effects on grape health …

Insects are associated with a plethora of different microbes of which we are only starting to
understand their role in shaping insect–plant interactions. Besides directly benefitting from …

Background Given their adaptation to nutrient-poor and drought environments, cycads are
vital models for plant-microbiome interaction research because they are likely to host an …

Seed-associated bacteria represent an important reservoir of microorganisms passed onto
progeny plants and have been postulated to be important for early plant development and …

Prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbial symbiotic communities span through kingdoms. The
vast microbial gene pool extends the host genome and supports adaptations to changing …
