The Plant Microbiome at Work [PDF]
Plants host distinct microbial communities on and inside their tissues designated the plant microbiota. Microbial community profiling enabled the description of the phylogenetic structure of the plant microbiota to an unprecedented depth, whereas functional insights are largely derived from experiments using individual microorganisms.

Plant Microbiome Innovation: M-trophs [PDF]
Human population is increasing from 7.6 billion today to an estimated 9.5–10 billion by 2050.1 How can billions more people, with increasing demands for protein and other food sources, be adequately fed without destroying the environment? Utilizing more land for agricultural purposes is not a solution, given that much of the arable land on the planet ...

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.

Drought Stress Results in a Compartment-Specific Restructuring of the Rice Root-Associated Microbiomes. [PDF]
Plant roots support complex microbial communities that can influence plant growth, nutrition, and health. While extensive characterizations of the composition and spatial compartmentalization of these communities have been performed in different plant ...

Systems Biology of Plant-Microbiome Interactions [PDF]
In natural environments, plants are exposed to diverse microbiota that they interact with in complex ways. While plant-pathogen interactions have been intensely studied to understand defense mechanisms in plants, many microbes and microbial communities can have substantial beneficial effects on their plant host. Such beneficial effects include improved

A Vavilovian approach to discovering crop-associated microbes with potential to enhance plant immunity [PDF]
Through active associations with a diverse community of largely non-pathogenic microbes, a plant may be thought of as possessing an “extended genotype,” an interactive cross-organismal genome with potential, exploitable implications for plant immunity ...

The Oral and Skin Microbiomes of Captive Komodo Dragons Are Significantly Shared with Their Habitat. [PDF]
Examining the way in which animals, including those in captivity, interact with their environment is extremely important for studying ecological processes and developing sophisticated animal husbandry.

Integrated analysis of root microbiomes of soybean and wheat from agricultural fields [PDF]
Root associated bacteria are critical for plant growth and health. Understanding the composition and role of root microbiota is crucial toward agricultural practices that are less dependent on chemical fertilization, which has known negative effects on ...
