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

Plants form complex interaction networks with diverse microbiomes in the environment, and
the intricate interplay between plants and their associated microbiomes can greatly …

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 …

Biofilms are a form of collective life with emergent properties that confer many advantages
on their inhabitants, and they represent a much higher level of organization than single cells …

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 …

Elevated tropospheric ozone concentrations induce adverse effects in plants. We reviewed
how ozone affects (i) the composition and diversity of plant communities by affecting key …

The plant endosphere is colonized by complex microbial communities and microorganisms,
which colonize the plant interior at least part of their lifetime and are termed endophytes …

Interactions connect the units of ecological systems, forming networks. Individual-based
networks characterize variation in niches among individuals within populations. These …

Microorganisms colonizing plant surfaces and internal tissues provide a number of life-
support functions for their host. Despite increasing recognition of the vast functional …

The plant microbiomes play important role in plant growth promotion and soil fertility for
sustainable agriculture. Plant and soil are valuable natural resource harbouring hotspots of …
