Cell Host Microbe. 2023 Dec 13;31(12):1956-1958. doi: 10.1016/j.chom.2023.11.009.ABSTRACTIn this issue of Cell Host and Microbe, Meyer et al. explore the effects of host history on the inheritance of the plant microbiome. They find that transmission from the same plant species resulted in microbiota specialization, while transmission from a different species resulted in host generalism.PMID:38096789 | DOI:10.1016/j.chom.2023.11.009
