mycobiome
The mycobiome refers to the complete community of fungi living in and on an organism, including the diverse fungal populations that colonize plant tissues, roots, and surfaces. In plant science, understanding the mycobiome is essential because these fungal communities profoundly influence plant health, nutrient uptake, disease resistance, and stress tolerance. Research into plant mycobiomes is revealing how beneficial and pathogenic fungi shape plant development and ecosystem function, opening new avenues for sustainable agriculture and crop protection.

A previously published study on plant and fungal species found in the human gut microbiome has been officially retracted from the scientific record, meaning its findings should no longer be considered reliable.
The paper on plant and fungal diversity in human gut microbiota has been officially retracted from publication.
No abstract or explanation of the retraction reason was provided in the available record.
Any conclusions from the original study about gut mycobiome or phytobiome diversity are now considered unreliable pending further investigation.
