Recent Developments in the Study of Plant Microbiomes [PDF]
To date, an understanding of how plant growth-promoting bacteria facilitate plant growth has been primarily based on studies of individual bacteria interacting with plants under different conditions. More recently, it has become clear that specific soil microorganisms interact with one another in consortia with the collective being responsible for the ...

Linking the edible plant microbiome and human gut microbiome. [PDF]
The edible plant microbiome, which includes microbes in raw-eaten plants, has been recently recognized as a vehicle delivering microbes to the gut. Fruits and vegetables can carry thousands to billions of microorganisms with diverse genetic capacities on each serving.

A symbiotic footprint in the plant root microbiome. [PDF]
BACKGROUND A major aim in plant microbiome research is determining the drivers of plant-associated microbial communities. While soil characteristics and host plant identity present key drivers of root microbiome composition, it is still unresolved ...

Microbiome-on-a-Chip: New Frontiers in Plant-Microbiota Research [PDF]
An enigmatic concoction of interactions between microbes and hosts takes place below ground, yet the function(s) of the individual components in this complex playground are far from understood.

Deciphering composition and function of the root microbiome of a legume plant [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Diverse assemblages of microbes colonize plant roots and collectively function as a microbiome. Earlier work has characterized the root microbiomes of numerous plant species, but little information is available for legumes despite their key ...

Antibiotic Resistomes in Plant Microbiomes [PDF]
Microorganisms associated with plants may alter the traits of the human microbiome important for human health, but this alteration has largely been overlooked. The plant microbiome is an interface between plants and the environment, and provides many ecosystem functions such as improving nutrient uptake and protecting against biotic and abiotic stress.

A Hypothetical Bottleneck in the Plant Microbiome [PDF]
The plant microbiome may be bottlenecked at the level of endophytes of individual seeds. Strong defense of developing seeds is predicted by optimal defense theory, and we have experimentally demonstrated exclusionary interactions among endophytic microbes infecting individual seeds of Centaurea stoebe.

The rhizosphere is a hot spot and a source of beneficial microorganisms known as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). From the alfalfa (Medicago sativa) rhizosphere, 115 bacteria were isolated, and from the screening for PGP traits, 26 ...

Apple replant disease (ARD) is a worldwide problem for tree nurseries and orchards leading to reduced plant growth and fruit quality. The etiology of this complex phenomenon is poorly understood, but shifts of the bulk soil and rhizosphere microbiome ...

Keystone taxa as drivers of microbiome structure and functioning [PDF]
Microorganisms have a pivotal role in the functioning of ecosystems. Recent studies have shown that microbial communities harbour keystone taxa, which drive community composition and function irrespective of their abundance.
