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 …

Root exudation is an important process determining plant interactions with the soil
environment. Many studies have linked this process to soil nutrient mobilization. Yet, it …

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are beneficial soil microorganisms that can
stimulate plant growth and increase tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses. Some PGPR are …

Intercrop** is an adapted farming system to optimize resource-use efficiency and crop
yield, particularly in low input agricultural systems. Due to the beneficial eco-agricultural …

Plant roots are functionally heterogeneous in cellular architecture, transcriptome profile,
metabolic state, and microbial immunity. We hypothesized that axial differentiation may also …
