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 …

The diversity of microbes associated with plant roots is enormous, in the order of tens of
thousands of species. This complex plant-associated microbial community, also referred to …

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 …

The World Health Organization (WHO) states that in develo** nations, there are three
million cases of agrochemical poisoning. The prolonged intensive and indiscriminate use of …

Microbial communities play a pivotal role in the functioning of plants by influencing their
physiology and development. While many members of the rhizosphere microbiome are …

Plant root exudates serve pivotal roles in supporting plant development and interactions with
the physicochemical and biological factors in the rhizosphere. Under stress conditions, root …

Plants host distinct bacterial communities on and inside various plant organs, of which those
associated with roots and the leaf surface are best characterized. The phylogenetic …

Beneficial microbes in the microbiome of plant roots improve plant health. Induced systemic
resistance (ISR) emerged as an important mechanism by which selected plant growth …

Microplastics may enter the soil in a wide range of shapes and polymers. However, little is
known about the effects that microplastics of different shapes, polymers, and concentration …

Plants are subjected to diverse biotic and abiotic stresses in life. These can induce changes
in transcriptomics and metabolomics, resulting in changes to root and leaf exudates and, in …
