TL;DR
The holobiont perspective offers a more ecologically realistic framework for developing durable and sustainable crop protection strategies and will depend on integrating ecological theory, multi-omics approaches, and field-based validation to translate plant holobiont research into robust disease management applications.
The rhizosphere is a living physical space that is constantly evolving and is characterized by a complex interplay between beneficial microbes, pathogens, and plants, mediated by molecular and ecological interactions. These three-way relationships constitute a rhizosphere “triangular warfare system,” which controls pla...
Declining soil health and soil-borne diseases threaten sustainable crop production, while single-strain inoculants often perform inconsistently in the field due to poor establishment, limited persistence, and narrow functional capacity within resident microbiomes. Synthetic microbial communities (SynComs), assembled fr...
The rhizosphere microbiome plays a pivotal role in plant health by contributing to nutrient cycling, growth promotion and protection against pathogens. Traditional culture-based methods have provided only a limited view of this complex ecosystem, as many microorganisms cannot be cultivated under laboratory conditions....
This review systematically summarize the colonization process, dynamic assembly rules, and driving factors of plant endophytic microbiomes, and elaborate their multifaceted physiological functions in regulating plant growth, nutrient utilization, and stress adaptation.
Antibiotic-induced disruption of plant-associated microbiomes has the potential to alter host health beyond the directly exposed generation, yet whether the effects of dysbiosis are transmitted through the seed microbiome remains unknown. Here, we investigated the intergenerational impacts of streptomycin-induced dysbi...
This review synthesizes the current basis of holobiont engineering with a primary focus on soil and plant-associated microbes of horticultural crops and proposes priority research pathways for fruit, vegetable, spice, ornamental and underutilized crops.
