Plant microbiome research investigates the complex communities of bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other microorganisms that colonize plant surfaces and internal tissues, including the rhizosphere, phyllosphere, and endosphere. These microbial communities profoundly influence plant health, nutrient acquisition, stress tolerance, and disease resistance, functioning as an extended plant immune and metabolic system. Understanding how plants recruit and maintain beneficial microbiomes opens new avenues for developing sustainable agricultural practices that reduce reliance on chemical inputs.
