The root microbiome refers to the community of microbes living in association with a plant's
roots, and includes mutualists, pathogens, and commensals. Here we focus on recent …

Endophytic fungi (EF) are a group of fascinating host-associated fungal communities that
colonize the intercellular or intracellular spaces of host tissues, providing beneficial effects to …

The role of rhizosphere microbiota in the resistance of tomato plant against soil-borne
Fusarium wilt disease (FWD) remains unclear. Here, we showed that the FWD incidence …

The root-associated microbiota plays an important role in the response to environmental
stress. However, the underlying mechanisms controlling the interaction between salt …

Plant-associated microbiota can extend plant immune system function, improve nutrient
acquisition and availability, and alleviate abiotic stresses. Thus, naturally beneficial …

Many species, including humans, host communities of symbiotic microbes. There is a vast
literature on the ways these microbiomes affect hosts, but here we argue for an increased …

Plants host a mesmerizing diversity of microbes inside and around their roots, known as the
microbiome. The microbiome is composed mostly of fungi, bacteria, oomycetes, and …

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 …

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 …

Roots of healthy plants are inhabited by soil-derived bacteria, fungi, and oomycetes that
have evolved independently in distinct kingdoms of life. How these microorganisms interact …
