Agricultural intensification has had long-lasting negative legacies largely because of
excessive inputs of agrochemicals (eg, fertilizers) and simplification of crop** systems (eg …

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 …

Substantial efforts to characterize the structural and functional diversity of soil, plant and
insect-associated microbial communities have illuminated the complex interacting domains …

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 …

Plant immune receptors perceive microbial molecules and initiate an array of biochemical
responses that are effective against most invaders. The role of the plant immune system in …

Root-associated microbiomes contribute to plant growth and health, and are dynamically
affected by plant development and changes in the soil environment. However, how different …
