The plant microbiome comprises the diverse communities of microorganisms—bacteria, fungi, and other microbes—that inhabit plant tissues and surrounding soil environments. Understanding microbiome-health is fundamental to plant science because these microbial associations directly influence nutrient acquisition, pathogen resistance, stress tolerance, and overall plant performance. Consequently, microbiome research has become essential for developing sustainable agricultural approaches and improving crop productivity and resilience.
