Publication date: 8 March 2018 Source:Cell, Volume 172, Issue 6 Author(s): Peter A.H.M. Bakker, Corné M.J. Pieterse, Ronnie de Jonge, Roeland L. Berendsen Plants greatly rely on their root microbiome for uptake of nutrients and protection against stresses. Recent studies have uncovered the involvement of plant stress responses in the assembly of plant-beneficial microbiomes. To facilitate durable crop production, deciphering the driving forces that shape the microbiome is crucial.
