All plants are inhabited internally by diverse microbial communities comprising bacterial,
archaeal, fungal, and protistic taxa. These microorganisms showing endophytic lifestyles …

Global population growth poses a threat to food security in an era of increased ecosystem
degradation, climate change, soil erosion, and biodiversity loss. In this context, harnessing …

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 …

Pseudomonas syringae is one of the most common plant pathogens that infect the
phyllosphere. P. syringae can live on the plant surface as an epiphyte. To cause disease, it …

The plant endosphere contains a diverse group of microbial communities. There is general
consensus that these microbial communities make significant contributions to plant health …

Bacterial root endophytes reside in a vast number of plant species as part of their root
microbiome, with some being shown to positively influence plant growth. Endophyte …

Endophytes are non-pathogenic microbes living inside plants. We asked whether
endophytic species were conserved in the agriculturally important plant genus Zea as it …

Bacterial endophytes are ubiquitous to virtually all terrestrial plants. With the increasing
appreciation of studies that unravel the mutualistic interactions between plant and microbes …

Despite the fact that roots are the organs most subject to microbial interactions, very little is
known about the response of roots to microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs). By …

Rhizosphere microorganisms have two faces, like Janus the Roman god of gates and doors
who symbolizes changes and transitions, from one condition to another. One face looks at …
