Climate change is increasing global temperatures and the frequency and severity of
droughts in many regions. These anthropogenic stresses pose a significant threat to plant …

Plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) play many roles including defense against pathogens,
pests, and herbivores; response to environmental stresses, and mediating organismal …

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 …

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

Drought and salinity are among the most important environmental factors that hampered
agricultural productivity worldwide. Both stresses can induce several morphological …

The microbiome shapes many host traits, yet the biology of microbiomes challenges
traditional evolutionary models. Here, we illustrate how integrating the microbiome into …

Conventional farming practices can lead to soil degradation and a decline in productivity.
Regenerative agriculture (RA) is purported by advocates as a solution to these issues that …

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 …

Climate change is altering the frequency and severity of drought events. Recent evidence
indicates that drought may produce legacy effects on soil microbial communities. However, it …

Plants are subjected to diverse biotic and abiotic stresses in life. These can induce changes
in transcriptomics and metabolomics, resulting in changes to root and leaf exudates and, in …
