The term “core microbiome” has become widely used in microbial ecology over the last
decade. Broadly, the core microbiome refers to any set of microbial taxa, or the genomic and …

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 …

Applying organic and inorganic fertilizers together could sustainably increase crop yields.
The effects of long-term organic fertilizer substitution on soil microbial community structure …

Background The rhizosphere microbiome, which is shaped by host genotypes, root
exudates, and plant domestication, is crucial for sustaining agricultural plant growth. Despite …

Plants live in association with diverse microorganisms, collectively called the microbiome.
These microbes live either inside (endosphere) or outside (episphere) of plant tissues …

Nitrogen-use efficiency of indica varieties of rice is superior to that of japonica varieties. We
apply 16S ribosomal RNA gene profiling to characterize root microbiota of 68 indica and 27 …

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 …

By changing soil properties, plants can modify their growth environment. Although the soil
microbiota is known to play a key role in the resulting plant-soil feedbacks, the proximal …

Virtually all examined plant species harbour fungal endophytes which asymptomatically
infect or colonize living plant tissues, including leaves, branches, stems and roots …

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 …
