Plant diseases are still the main problem for the reduction in crop yield and a threat to global
food security. Additionally, excessive usage of chemical inputs such as pesticides and …

The microbiota populating the plant–soil continuum defines an untapped resource for
sustainable crop production. The host plant is a driver for the taxonomic composition and …

Understanding the role of the host genome in modulating microbiota variation is a need to
shed light on the holobiont theory and overcome the current limits on the description of host …

Plant microbiota can greatly impact plant growth, defense, and health in different
environments. Thus, it might be evolutionarily beneficial for plants to be able to control …

Microbiomes often benefit plants, conferring resistance to pathogens, improving stress
tolerance, or promoting plant growth. As potential plant mutualists, however, microbiomes …

Plant derived bioactive small molecules have attracted attention of scientists across
fundamental and applied scientific disciplines. We seek to understand the influence of these …

Plant phenotype is a complex entity largely controlled by the genotype and various
environmental factors. Importantly, co-evolution has allowed plants to coexist with the biotic …

Background To adapt to constantly changing environments, ancient gymnosperms have
coevolved with diverse endophytic fungi that are essential for the fitness and adaptability of …

Harnessing the plant microbiome through plant genetics is of increasing interest to those
seeking to improve plant nutrition and health. While genome‐wide association studies …

Engineering new functions in the microbiome requires understanding how host genetic
control and microbe–microbe interactions shape the microbiome. One key genetic …
