Coumarin communication along the microbiome–root–shoot axis [PDF]
Plants shape their rhizosphere microbiome by secreting root exudates into the soil environment. Recently, root-exuded coumarins were identified as novel players in plant–microbiome communication.

Bioprospecting plant-associated microbiomes
There is growing demand for new bioactive compounds and biologicals for the pharmaceutical, agro- and food industries. Plant-associated microbes present an attractive and promising source to this end, but are nearly unexploited. Therefore, bioprospecting of plant microbiomes is gaining more and more attention.

The rhizosphere microbiome: functions, dynamics, and role in plant protection
Intensive agriculture requires large inputs of chemicals to avoid losses caused by pathogen infections. Exploring the rhizosphere of plants, which is an area with enormous abundance and diversity of microorganisms, represents a promising strategy to ...

The treasure inside barley seeds: microbial diversity and plant beneficial bacteria
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 pesticides. Since phytopathogens cause severe yield losses in crop production

Microbiome function predicts amphibian chytridiomycosis disease dynamics. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) threatens amphibian biodiversity and ecosystem stability worldwide. Amphibian skin microbial community structure has been linked to the clinical outcome of Bd infections, yet its overall

Ecology and Evolution of Plant Microbiomes
Microorganisms colonizing plant surfaces and internal tissues provide a number of life-support functions for their host. Despite increasing recognition of the vast functional capabilities of the plant microbiome, our understanding of the ecology and evolution of the taxonomically hyperdiverse microbial communities is limited.
