Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) have been widely found and studied in soil and water
environments. However, the propagation of ARGs in plant microbiomes has attracted …

As holobiont, a plant is intrinsically connected to its microbiomes. However, some
characteristics of these microbiomes, such as their taxonomic composition, biological and …

Microbial communities associated with plant leaf surfaces (ie, the phyllosphere) are
increasingly recognized for their role in plant health. While accumulating evidence suggests …

Lettuce is associated with seasonal outbreaks of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli
(STEC) infections. Little is known about how various biotic and abiotic factors affect the …

Vegetables and fruits are a crucial part of the planetary health diet, directly affecting human
health and the gut microbiome. The objective of our study was to understand the variability …

Plant secondary metabolites possess a wide range of pharmacological activities and play
crucial biological roles. They serve as both a defense response during pathogen attack and …

Disease management is critical to ensuring healthy crop yields and is often targeted at
flowers because of their susceptibility to pathogens and direct link to reproduction. Many …

The rhizosphere and phyllosphere are the below-and above-ground microbial ecosystems
of plants. Interactions between the rhizosphere and phyllosphere shape the plant …

Endophytic bacteria can degrade toxic phthalate (PAEs). Nevertheless, the colonization and
function of endophytic PAE-degrader in soil-crop system and their association mechanism …

Flowering crops are heavily managed during bloom to both promote pollination and prevent
disease. Disease management practices can alter the floral microbiome, including …
