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 …

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 …

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 …

Several microbes promote plant growth, and many microbial products that stimulate plant
growth have been marketed. In this review we restrict ourselves to bacteria that are derived …

Microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) are molecular signatures typical of whole
classes of microbes, and their recognition plays a key role in innate immunity. Endogenous …

In both managed and natural ecosystems, beneficial plant-associated bacteria play a key
role in supporting and/or increasing plant health and growth. Plant growth-promoting …

The above ground growth of the plant is highly dependent on the belowground root system.
Rhizosphere is the zone of continuous interplay between plant roots and soil microbial …

Pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), microbe-associated molecular patterns
(MAMPs), herbivore-associated molecular patterns (HAMPs), and damage-associated …

Quorum sensing (QS) refers to the capacity of bacteria to monitor their population density
and regulate gene expression accordingly: the QS-regulated processes deal with …

A growing body of research is highlighting the impacts root-associated microbial
communities can have on plant health and development. These impacts can include …
