Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions

Cross-interference of plant development and plant-microbe interactions.

Plant roots are host to a multitude of filamentous microorganisms. Among these, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi provide benefits to plants, while pathogens trigger diseases resulting in significant crop yield losses. It is therefore imperative to study processes which allow plants to discriminate detrimental and beneficial interactions in order to protect crops from diseases while retaining the ab...

Diffuse symbioses: roles of plant-plant, plant-microbe and microbe-microbe interactions in structuring the soil microbiome.

A conceptual model emphasizing direct host-microbe interactions has dominated work on host-associated microbiomes. To understand plant-microbiome associations, however, broader influences on microbiome composition and functioning must be incorporated, such as those arising from plant-plant and microbe-microbe interactions. We sampled soil microbiomes associated with target plant species (Androp...

Book Review: Principles of Plant-Microbe Interactions: Microbes for Sustainable Agriculture

The significance of plant-microbe interactions in sustainable agriculture is enormous. These interactions may be negative such as the host-pathogen interactions leading to the disease development in plants or positive likes the interaction of the plants with the beneficial soil microbiota for stimulating the plant growth, conferring biotic, and abiotic stress tolerance in plants and helping the...

Plant-microbe interactions. Affairs of the plant: colonization, intolerance, exploitation and co-operation in plant-microbe interactions.

Plants are the primary carbon source for nearly all terrestrial non-photosynthetic organisms, including ourselves. Many species seek to tap this photosynthate, and plants are continuously resisting their strenuous and intimate advances. The review articles in this issue of Curretzt Opittiotr itt Platrt Biology address recent progress in several relationships, some more polite and considerate th...
