Microbe to Microbiome: A Paradigm Shift in the Application of Microorganisms for Sustainable Agriculture

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Light, water and healthy soil are three essential natural resources required for agricultural productivity. Industrialization of agriculture has resulted in intensification of cropping practices using enormous amounts of chemical pesticides and ...

Non-rhizobial endophyte recruitment and diversity in Pisum sativum are strongly shaped by phosphorus fertilizer form

Environmental Microbiome
Background Non-rhizobial endophytes (NREs) support plant health and nodule function by enhancing symbiotic interactions and nitrogen fixation. However, their recruitment dynamics under fertilizers of varying phosphorus solubility remain poorly understood.

Exploring the Role of Vertical and Horizontal Pathways in the Formation of Lettuce Plant Endospheric Bacterial Communities: A Comparative Study of Hydroponic and Soil Systems

Horticulturae
Plant-associated microbiomes play a critical role in plant health, nutrition, growth, and adaptation. This study aimed to investigate the formation pathways of the endospheric microbiome in lettuce (Lactuca sativa) through vertical (seed) and horizontal (

Proteomics as the final step in the functional metagenomics study of antimicrobial resistance [PDF]

, 2015
peer-reviewedThe majority of clinically applied antimicrobial agents are derived from natural products generated by soil microorganisms and therefore resistance is likely to be ubiquitous in such environments.

Fungal community assembly in drought-stressed sorghum shows stochasticity, selection, and universal ecological dynamics. [PDF]

, 2020
Community assembly of crop-associated fungi is thought to be strongly influenced by deterministic selection exerted by the plant host, rather than stochastic processes.
