Plant-associated microbiota can extend plant immune system function, improve nutrient
acquisition and availability, and alleviate abiotic stresses. Thus, naturally beneficial …

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,” …

Plant roots are functionally heterogeneous in cellular architecture, transcriptome profile,
metabolic state, and microbial immunity. We hypothesized that axial differentiation may also …

The identification of processes activated by specific microbes during microbiota colonization
of plant roots has been hampered by technical constraints in metatranscriptomics. These …

Natural ecosystems harbor a huge reservoir of taxonomically diverse microbes that are
important for plant growth and health. The vast diversity of soil microorganisms and their …

DNA-amplicon-based microbiota profiling can estimate species diversity and abundance but
cannot resolve genetic differences within individuals of the same species. Here we report …

Various microbes isolated from healthy plants are detrimental under laboratory conditions,
indicating the existence of molecular mechanisms preventing disease in nature. Here, we …

Advances in high throughput omics techniques provide avenues to decipher plant
microbiomes. However, there is limited information on how integrated informatics can help …

Beneficial microorganisms colonizing internal plant tissues, the endophytes, support their
host through plant growth promotion, pathogen protection, and abiotic stress alleviation …
