Plants interact with a diversity of microorganisms that influence their growth and resilience,
and they can therefore be considered as ecological entities, namely “plant holobionts,” …

Plant–fungal interactions in the soil crucially impact crop productivity and can range from
highly beneficial to detrimental. Accumulating evidence suggests that some root-colonizing …

Mutualistic symbiotic associations between multicellular eukaryotes and their microbiota are
driven by the exchange of nutrients in a quid pro quo manner. In the widespread arbuscular …

Highlights•Fungi can be symbionts and pathogens of both plant and animal hosts.•Fungal
effectors are key players involved in all host–fungal interactions.•Apoplastic or cytoplasmic …

Advances in high throughput omics techniques provide avenues to decipher plant
microbiomes. However, there is limited information on how integrated informatics can help …

Plant metabolites have a great influence on soil microbiomes. Although few studies provided
insights into plant–microbe interactions, we still know very little about how plants recruit their …

Plant pathogenic and beneficial fungi have evolved several strategies to evade immunity
and cope with host-derived hydrolytic enzymes and oxidative stress in the apoplast, the …

As holobiont, a plant is intrinsically connected to its microbiomes. However, some
characteristics of these microbiomes, such as their taxonomic composition, biological and …

Fungal and oomycete pathogens secrete complex arrays of proteins and small RNAs to
interface with plant-host targets and manipulate plant regulatory networks to the microbes' …

A prerequisite to exploiting soil microbes for sustainable crop production is the identification
of the plant genes shaping microbiota composition in the rhizosphere, the interface between …
