Bacteroidetes are prevalent in soil ecosystems and are associated with various eukaryotic
hosts, including plants, animals, and humans. The ubiquity and diversity of Bacteroidetes …

The interplay between the commensal microbiota and the mammalian immune system
development and function includes multifold interactions in homeostasis and disease. The …

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 …

The interactions of microorganisms among themselves and with their multicellular host take
place at the microscale, forming complex networks and spatial patterns. Existing technology …

Vertical farming is on its way to becoming an addition to conventional agricultural practices,
improving sustainable food production for the growing world population under increasing …

Nitrogen-use efficiency of indica varieties of rice is superior to that of japonica varieties. We
apply 16S ribosomal RNA gene profiling to characterize root microbiota of 68 indica and 27 …

Plants live in association with diverse microorganisms, collectively called the microbiome.
These microbes live either inside (endosphere) or outside (episphere) of plant tissues …

Microorganisms living inside plants can promote plant growth and health, but their genomic
and functional diversity remain largely elusive. Here, metagenomics and network inference …

Background The plant microbiome is an integral part of the host and increasingly recognized
as playing fundamental roles in plant growth and health. Increasing evidence indicates that …
