Plant disease outbreaks pose significant risks to global food security and environmental
sustainability worldwide, and result in the loss of primary productivity and biodiversity that …

The aboveground parts of terrestrial plants are colonized by a variety of microbes that
collectively constitute the phyllosphere microbiota. Decades of pioneering work using …

Plant response to drought stress involves fungi and bacteria that live on and in plants and in
the rhizosphere, yet the stability of these myco-and micro-biomes remains poorly …

The contributions of soil microbial diversity for the multifunctionality of ecosystem functions
remain little understood despite the well-known importance of soil microbial communities for …

Environmental stress is increasing worldwide, yet we lack a clear picture of how stress
disrupts the stability of microbial communities and the ecosystem services they provide …

The root microbiome refers to the community of microbes living in association with a plant's
roots, and includes mutualists, pathogens, and commensals. Here we focus on recent …

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

Global research on the plant microbiome has enhanced our understanding of the complex
interactions between plants and microorganisms. The structure and functions of plant …

Plant microbiomes are essential to host health and productivity but the ecological processes
that govern crop microbiome assembly are not fully known. Here we examined bacterial …

Background Plants live with diverse microbial communities which profoundly affect multiple
facets of host performance, but if and how host development impacts the assembly, functions …
