The rhizosphere microbiome and plant health

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss evidence that upon pathogen or insect attack, plants are able to recruit protective microorganisms, and enhance microbial activity to suppress pathogens in the rhizosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI

Going back to the roots: the microbial ecology of the rhizosphere.

TL;DR: Recent developments in rhizosphere research are discussed in relation to assessing the contribution of the micro- and macroflora to sustainable agriculture, nature conservation, the development of bio-energy crops and the mitigation of climate change.
Journal ArticleDOI

Revealing structure and assembly cues for Arabidopsis root-inhabiting bacterial microbiota

TL;DR: Methodology is described to characterize and compare soil- and root-inhabiting bacterial communities, which reveals not only a function for metabolically active plant cells but also for inert cell-wall features in the selection of soil bacteria for host colonization.
Journal ArticleDOI

The rhizosphere microbiome: significance of plant beneficial, plant pathogenic, and human pathogenic microorganisms

TL;DR: The main functions of rhizosphere microorganisms and how they impact on health and disease are reviewed and several strategies to redirect or reshape the rhizospheric microbiome in favor of microorganisms that are beneficial to plant growth and health are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Embracing the unknown: disentangling the complexities of the soil microbiome.

TL;DR: Although most soil microorganisms remain undescribed, the field is now poised to identify how to manipulate and manage the soil microbiome to increase soil fertility, improve crop production and improve the understanding of how terrestrial ecosystems will respond to environmental change.

Phylogenetic identification and in situ detection of individual microbial cells without cultivation.

TL;DR: Phylogenetic analysis of the retrieved rRNA sequence of an uncultured microorganism reveals its closest culturable relatives and may, together with information on the physicochemical conditions of its natural habitat, facilitate more directed cultivation attempts.
Journal ArticleDOI

The diversity and biogeography of soil bacterial communities

TL;DR: Bacterial diversity was highest in neutral soils and lower in acidic soils, with soils from the Peruvian Amazon the most acidic and least diverse in this study.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Role of Root Exudates in Rhizosphere Interactions with Plants and Other Organisms

TL;DR: Recent advances in elucidating the role of root exudates in interactions between plant roots and other plants, microbes, and nematodes present in the rhizosphere are described.
Book

Biochemistry & Molecular Biology of Plants

TL;DR: This edition of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology of Plants holds a unique place in the plant sciences literature as it provides the only comprehensive, authoritative, integrated single volume book in this essential field of study.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biological control of soil-borne pathogens by fluorescent pseudomonads

TL;DR: Biocontrol strains of fluorescent pseudomonads produce antifungal antibiotics, elicit induced systemic resistance in the host plant or interfere specifically with fungal pathogenicity factors during root colonization.
