Plant-microbe interactions and the new biotechnological methods of plant disease control

Plant-microbe interactions and the new biotechnological methods of plant disease control.

Plants constitute an excellent ecosystem for microorganisms. The environmental conditions offered differ considerably between the highly variable aerial plant part and the more stable root system. Microbes interact with plant tissues and cells with different degrees of dependence. The most interesting from the microbial ecology point of view, however, are specific interactions developed by plan...

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions

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...

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...
