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

Plant-derived protein hydrolysates (PHs) have gained prominence as plant biostimulants
because of their potential to increase the germination, productivity and quality of a wide …

Plant microbiomes play an important role in agricultural productivity, but there is still much to
learn about their provenance, diversity, and organization. In order to study the role of vertical …

Plant roots host numerous microorganisms around and inside their roots, forming a
community known as the root microbiome. An increasing bulk of research is underlining the …

Molecular plant pathology has focused on studying large-effect qualitative resistance loci
that predominantly function in detecting pathogens and/or transmitting signals resulting from …

The success of sustainable agricultural practices has now become heavily dependent on the
interactions between crop plants and their associated microbiome. Continuous …

Plants are associated with hundreds of thousands of microbes that are present outside on
the surfaces or colonizing inside plant organs, such as leaves and roots. Plant-associated …

Variation on bacterial communities living in the phyllosphere as epiphytes and endophytes
has been attributed to plant host effects. However, there is contradictory or inconclusive …

Aims The present study aimed at gaining an insight into the abundance and genetic diversity
of culturable N‐fixing epiphyte bacteria on the phyllosphere of maize in arid and semi‐arid …

The phyllosphere supports a tremendous diversity of microbes and other organisms.
However, little is known about the colonization and survival of pathogenic and beneficial …
