Microbes of the phytomicrobiome are associated with every plant tissue and, in combination
with the plant form the holobiont. Plants regulate the composition and activity of their …

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 …

Background Plant health and growth are negatively affected by pathogen invasion; however,
plants can dynamically modulate their rhizosphere microbiome and adapt to such biotic …

Plastic residues could accumulate in soils as a consequence of using plastic mulching,
which results in a serious environmental concern for agroecosystems. As an alternative …

In their natural environment, plants are part of a rich ecosystem including numerous and
diverse microorganisms in the soil. It has been long recognized that some of these microbes …

There has been many recent studies on the use of microbial antagonists to control diseases
incited by soilborne and airborne plant pathogenic bacteria and fungi, in an attempt to …

Microbial communities associated with roots confer specific functions to their hosts, thereby
modulating plant growth, health, and productivity. Yet, seminal questions remain largely …

The factors that contribute to the composition of the root microbiome and, in turn, affect plant
fitness are not well understood. Recent work has highlighted a major contribution of the soil …

Volatiles mediate the interaction of plants with pollinators, herbivores and their natural
enemies, other plants and micro‐organisms. With increasing knowledge about these …

Plant roots communicate with microbes in a sophisticated manner through chemical
communication within the rhizosphere, thereby leading to biofilm formation of beneficial …
