Healthy plants host diverse but taxonomically structured communities of microorganisms, the
plant microbiota, that colonize every accessible plant tissue. Plant-associated microbiomes …

Methodological advances over the past two decades have propelled plant microbiome
research, allowing the field to comprehensively test ideas proposed over a century ago and …

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 …

Background Plants live with diverse microbial communities which profoundly affect multiple
facets of host performance, but if and how host development impacts the assembly, functions …

Background The plant microbiome is an integral part of the host and increasingly recognized
as playing fundamental roles in plant growth and health. Increasing evidence indicates that …

Microbial networks are an increasingly popular tool to investigate microbial community
structure, as they integrate multiple types of information and may represent systems-level …

Plants harbour highly diverse mycobiomes which sustain essential functions for host health
and productivity. However, ecological processes that govern the plant–mycobiome …

The interaction of plants with complex microbial communities is the result of co‐evolution
over millions of years and contributed to plant transition and adaptation to land. The ability of …

Community assembly of crop-associated fungi is thought to be strongly influenced by
deterministic selection exerted by the plant host, rather than stochastic processes. Here we …

Plants interact with a diversity of microorganisms that influence their growth and resilience,
and they can therefore be considered as ecological entities, namely “plant holobionts,” …
