provide essential ecosystem services and play crucial roles for maintaining the stability of …

Due to climate change, population explosion, shrinkage of arable land and reduced water
availability, a paradigm shift in global crop production is occurring towards protected …

Organic farming system and sustainable management of soil pathogens aim at reducing the
use of agricultural chemicals in order to improve ecosystem health. Despite the essential …

Ongoing climate change will both profoundly impact land-use (eg, changes in crop species

The rhizosphere is a hot spot of microbial interactions as exudates released by plant roots
are a main food source for microorganisms and a driving force of their population density …

Plant–nematode interactions are mainly considered from the negative aspect with a focus on
plant‐parasitic nematodes (PPNs), which is justified considering the agronomic losses …

Introduction: Verticillium spp. are soil‐borne plant pathogens responsible for Verticillium wilt
diseases in temperate and subtropical regions; collectively they affect over 200 hosts …

Root-lesion nematodes of the genus Pratylenchus are recognised worldwide as one of the
major constraints of crops of primary economic importance. Pratylenchus spp. comprises …

Endophytes are known to play important roles in plant's health and productivity. In this study,
we investigated the root microbiome of tomato in association with infection by root knot …

Nematodes are a crucial component of rhizosphere biodiversity, affecting plant health as the
most abundant and functionally diverse soil animals. Plant-parasitic nematodes are …
