Substantial efforts to characterize the structural and functional diversity of soil, plant and
insect-associated microbial communities have illuminated the complex interacting domains …

A plant growing in nature is not an individual, but it holds an intricate community of plants
and microbes with relatively stable partnerships. The microbial community has recently been …

The rhizosphere is a complex ecosystem around plant roots that comprises an integrated
network of plant roots, the microbiome and soil. Wide spread communication between …

Background Bacteria associated with plants can enhance the plants' growth and resistance
against phytopathogens. Today, growers aim to reduce the use of mineral fertilizers and …

Bacterial quorum-sensing (QS) molecules are one of the primary means allowing
communication between bacterial cells or populations. Plants also evolved to perceive and …

Microbes hold immense potential, based on the fact that they are widely acknowledged for
their role in mitigating the detrimental impacts of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, which …

N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs) are important players in plant–bacteria interactions.
Different AHL-producing bacteria can improve plant growth and resistance against plant …

The biological control of plant pathogens is linked to the composition and activity of the plant
microbiome. Plant-associated microbiomes co-evolved with land plants, leading to plant …

Long-term agricultural practices are assumed to shape the rhizosphere microbiome of crops
with implications for plant health. In a long-term field experiment, we investigated the effect …

Bacteria communicate with each other through quorum sensing (QS) molecules. N-acyl
homoserine lactones (AHL) are one of the most extensively studied groups of QS molecules …
