Since the colonization of land by ancestral plant lineages 450 million years ago, plants and
their associated microbes have been interacting with each other, forming an assemblage of …

Plant health in natural environments depends on interactions with complex and dynamic
communities comprising macro-and microorganisms. While many studies have provided …

Sustainable agriculture requires the recruitment of bacterial agents to control diverse plant
diseases such as bacterial endophytes. Bacterial endophytes colonize and inhabit internal …

The plant endosphere is colonized by complex microbial communities and microorganisms,
which colonize the plant interior at least part of their lifetime and are termed endophytes …

Microorganisms colonizing plant surfaces and internal tissues provide a number of life-
support functions for their host. Despite increasing recognition of the vast functional …

One of the most exciting scientific advances in recent decades has been the realization that
the diverse and immensely active microbial communities are not only 'passengers' with …
