TL;DR: This Review explores how plant microbiome research has unravelled the complex network of genetic, biochemical, physical and metabolic interactions among the plant, the associated microbial communities and the environment and how those interactions shape the assembly of plant-associated microbiomes and modulate their beneficial traits.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that soil biodiversity (bacteria, fungi, protists and invertebrates) is significantly and positively associated with multiple ecosystem functions including nutrient cycling, decomposition, plant production, and reduced potential for pathogenicity and belowground biological warfare.

TL;DR: It is argued that although making direct linkage of genomes to global phenomena is a significant challenge, many connections at intermediate scales are viable with integrated application of new systems biology approaches and powerful analytical and modelling techniques.

TL;DR: This review focuses on the most recent research on citrus, 'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus', and psyllid interactions, specifically considering the following topics: evolutionary relationships among 'Ca. Liberibacteria' spp.

TL;DR: A strong relationship was found between different functional genes and their corresponding enzyme activities in soil samples collected across three geographical regions of Australia, and this relationship was maintained after considering microbial community structure, total C and soil pH using structural equation modelling.
