Global research on the plant microbiome has enhanced our understanding of the complex
interactions between plants and microorganisms. The structure and functions of plant …

Plants interact with a diversity of microorganisms that influence their growth and resilience,
and they can therefore be considered as ecological entities, namely “plant holobionts,” …

In terrestrial ecosystems, plant leaves provide the largest biological habitat for highly diverse
microbial communities, known as the phyllosphere microbiota. However, the underlying …

Bacteroidetes are prevalent in soil ecosystems and are associated with various eukaryotic
hosts, including plants, animals, and humans. The ubiquity and diversity of Bacteroidetes …

A promising, sustainable way to enhance plant health and productivity is by leveraging
beneficial microbes. Beneficial microbes are natural soil residents with proven benefits for …

Engineering plant microbiomes has the potential to improve plant health in a rapid and
sustainable way. Rapidly changing climates and relatively long timelines for plant breeding …

Abstract RIPENING-INHIBITOR (RIN) transcriptional factor is a central gene governing fruit
ripening. While RIN also affects other physiological signals, its potential role in triggering …

Plants recruit a taxonomically diverse microbial community, collectively termed the plant
microbiome, that includes mutualists, pathogens, and commensals. These myriad …

The importance of rhizomicrobiome in plant development, nutrition acquisition and stress
tolerance is unquestionable. Relevant plant genes corresponding to the above functions …

The microbiota populating the plant–soil continuum defines an untapped resource for
sustainable crop production. The host plant is a driver for the taxonomic composition and …
