Healthy plants host diverse but taxonomically structured communities of microorganisms, the
plant microbiota, that colonize every accessible plant tissue. Plant-associated microbiomes …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) form symbiotic relationships with the roots of nearly all
land-dwelling plants, increasing growth and productivity, especially during abiotic stress …

The taxonomy of the genus Colletotrichum has undergone tremendous changes over the
last decade, with over 200 species being currently recognised and species complexes being …

Roots of healthy plants are inhabited by soil-derived bacteria, fungi, and oomycetes that
have evolved independently in distinct kingdoms of life. How these microorganisms interact …

Plant microbiome (or phytomicrobiome) engineering (PME) is an anticipated untapped
alternative strategy that could be exploited for plant growth, health and productivity under …

The global diversity of fungi has been estimated between 2 to 11 million species, of which
only about 155 000 have been named. Most fungi are invisible to the unaided eye, but they …

Plants live in biogeochemically diverse soils with diverse microbiota. Plant organs associate
intimately with a subset of these microbes, and the structure of the microbial community can …

Highlights•Soil microbiomes induce reproducible plant phenotypes.•Large collections of
plant-associated microbes are available for research.•Plant growth promoting microbial …

In natural environments, plants are exposed to diverse microbiota that they interact with in
complex ways. While plant–pathogen interactions have been intensely studied to …

Bidirectional root–shoot signalling is probably key in orchestrating stress responses and
ensuring plant survival. Here, we show that Arabidopsis thaliana responses to microbial root …
